As we wrap up Neurodiversity Month, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible learning and growth that took place at Washington school 💙 Throughout the month, students explored what neurodiversity means, deepened their understanding of autism, and stepped up as advocates for inclusion and acceptance. Most importantly, they embraced what makes each of us unique—our different ways of thinking, learning, and experiencing the world. We are inspired by our students’ curiosity, empathy, and willingness to support one another. Together, we are building a community where every brain is valued and every student belongs. Let’s continue to celebrate and uplift neurodiversity—not just this month, but all year long. #NeurodiversityMonth #InclusionMatters #CelebrateDifferences

Due to the power line remaining down, parents picking up students at Madison/RMS should use Chicago Ave. to Fargo Ave. when picking up at 11:15 am today. Walkers will be routed to Hemlock for both north and south access. South walkers will utilize the overpass heading toward WalMart. North walkers will be directed toward Hometown Pantry where crossing guards will assist them north on Galena or west toward 7th Street. Buses will be adjusting their routes accordingly. Expect bussing delays and allow for increased traffic today. Please be safe out there.

April is Neurodiversity Celebration Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the amazing ways our brains can work differently! Our Kindergarten students had a special visit from Mrs. Corrie Ackman, OT, who taught them about neurodiversity and why it’s important to celebrate our unique strengths. Together, they read All of My Stripes and talked about how everyone has special qualities that make them who they are. To bring this message to life, each class created a collaborative zebra decorated with stripes to represent each student’s favorite part about themselves. These zebras are a beautiful reminder that our differences make our school community stronger, kinders and more colorful! Be sure to look out for more exciting neurodiversity activities happening throughout this month at Washington School! 🧠🌈💙
