Families can now report their child's absence online through Campus Parent Portal via computer or a mobile device.

Students in grades K-8 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to be admitted to SoWashCo High School football games. It is expected that students will sit with their families throughout the game. Students will not be allowed to gather in the concourse or nearby areas. 

As we open the doors to students on Sept. 6, we hope to create a place where everyone feels safe, welcomed, encouraged, accepted and celebrated. Our outstanding teachers and staff seek to make positive and meaningful connections with students to ensure they have a high-quality education, a nutritious school meal and a safe ride to and from school. We also count on you, our families, to help address issues and communicate if there are questions or concerns that arise throughout the year.

At the Aug. 25 school board meeting, the board approved a policy to address negative meal accounts. The policy is a new requirement from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which oversees school meals. This simply puts our current practices into school board policy to meet the USDA requirement. Please review the policy to see how negative meal charges are handled throughout the school year.

As you prepare for the first day of school, it’s a good idea to review the programs and devices that will be used throughout the academic year.

South Washington County Schools (SoWashCo Schools) is facing a bus driver shortage that could potentially result in cancellations or delays for bus routes in the mornings and afternoons. If this occurs, families would be notified by phone and text, with as much notice as possible. 

It’s that time of year where the excitement of starting a new school year takes priority. We are looking forward to a great start and having students return to school. We understand there are a lot of questions about “what’s next” following the unsuccessful bond election on Aug. 9. 

SoWashCo Schools is offering families the option of purchasing a device protection plan to protect district-issued devices from accidental damage from fire, flood, natural disasters, or power surges; and theft (with a filed police report).
