Washburn School Toy Drive Announcement
We are also kindly requesting any spare Christmas lights you may lend us for our Friday, November 30 activity called "ENCENDIDO NAVIDEÑO". It will help us light up our school at 6:00 pm with the holiday spirit while we celebrate the upcoming winter holidays and our Puerto Rican culture with food and performances from our students! We will also initiate our toy drive collection during our activity starting that same day to help the less fortunate children around Puerto Rico during the holidays.

We have a criteria for evaluating students that includes voting from all staff and faculty members in a rubric that includes observations for each student, classroom behavior, values outside the classroom, outstanding social factors with peers, and their positive impact to our overall community. The teachers who vote and nominate fill out the rubric anonymously . It means that all faculty members pick the winner without exactly knowing who is the outstanding student at Washburn School in each month, thus promoting a fair selection that includes everyones feedback!

Si tienen decoraciones navideñas que nos puedan prestar para la actividad del viernes, te lo agradeceremos. Favor de dejar las decoraciones en la oficina con la Sra. Jennifer Piazza con el nombre de usted y de su hijo/a. (Lo estaremos usando para el ENCENDIDO NAVIDEÑO)

October has been a significantly challenging month academically! Student of the Month is a great way to recognize those students who have shown our values inside and outside the classroom. Congrats Eagles

Congratulations to Mrs. Melendez, our elementary school Spanish teacher, who celebrated her 10th year anniversary at Washburn School!

Queremos demostrarles lo útil que puede ser nuestra página web que hemos tenido desde el 2012 (www.washburnschoolpr.com) y el gran trabajo de nuestra maestra de ciencia de elemental.

We concluded the Brain 🧠 Safety Challenge / Egg 🥚 Drop! Students found ways to protect the brain from damage by designing and creating a helmet made out of recycled materials. Washburn students from 9th to 12th grade have learned about the complex brain anatomy and each part’s function through active learning! They also have learned about various neurotransmitters and their roles, the long-term effects of concussions, dozens of neurological diseases , the complex functions of the nervous system, and we have introduced simple neuropsychological concepts

The voting 🗳 and total rubric criteria points for each student were extremely close and many students not included in this list have shown great work during one of the most difficult months of the year regarding academic load! Keep up the great work

Each homeroom teacher has been assigned a country to highlight in your classroom by decorating the door and classrooms with the country designated. We also will  integrate the contributions that Hispanics have done locally, internationally, or globally in the arts, science, economy, politics, education, sports, literature, and medicine in our daily classes at Washburn.

We would like to welcome Professor Edward Torres to the Washburn family! He will be leading our PK-12th grade school and our Conversational English Courses for Adults and Children on Saturdays and the Evenings.
