La familia de Washburn School se une a la pena que embarga a la familia de nuestros estudiantes Jan Pagán Pagán, su hermana Karol Pagán Pagán y su padre Jorge Pagán Ortiz ante la irreparable pérdida de su señora madre, Dulcilia Pagán Acosta. Elevemos una oración al Todopoderoso para que le brinde paz y fortaleza en este momento tan difícil. Dulcilia fue una madre ejemplar para nuestra comunidad de Washburn School.

Thank you Washburn community for your support and understanding as we manage vital health protocols, traffic in the road #14, and safety during our first month on campus. Please review our drop-off and pick-up procedures with your family to facilitate our students' arrival and departure from campus. Reminder : If a parent has multiple children at school, you should pick up your child in the area of the youngest child, at your latest child's dismissal pickup time. The older brother or sister should join the younger child in their pickup area (Road 14 or Community Building, Pre-K and Church Area). If any child is dismissed earlier or later than the other they will wait in a designated area with their teacher assistants and teachers until it is time for them to unite and be picked up at the moment your last child leaves school according to the dismissal schedule.
