Currently, we are reimagining education in Washington Township and reviewing how modifications to school hours and to the school calendar could address current needs starting as early as next school year. During the past semester, we have sought outside expert feedback on transportation complexities and have conducted a task force focused on school hours. Additionally, feedback from staff on potential calendar modifications to support teachers leads us to an opportunity for district-wide family feedback. We would appreciate Washington Township parents/caregivers/guardians and interested students completing the following brief survey by January 10, 2022 (please note that secondary students are invited to participate in the survey through the canvas platform). Washington Township Administration will analyze the survey results and share them with the School Board. Possible modifications would not go into effect until the 2022-2023 school year. Please take a moment to give us your feedback on this Survey. (the survey link is no longer active)

February 11, 2022 -Parent Square In March, the Washington Township School Board will be voting on modifications to the school calendar and current school hours, effective 2022-2023. These topics have been under critical review since spring 2021 by a School Hours Task Force and discussed by the School Board during the past four public meetings. All stakeholders are encouraged to review past public School Board meetings (once on page, click on the “Meetings” tab) and attend upcoming School Board meetings where this topic will continue to be reviewed and eventually voted on.
