Reviews and final tests
May 2 to 6 - Reviews
Mary 9 to 12 – Final tests
Important remarks:
• Students whose parents have a past due balance with the school will not be allowed to take the
finals; this, until the balance is canceled.
• Students whose parents have a past due balance with the school will not be allowed to participate
in the Kindergarten promotion ceremony, 8th grade graduation or 12th grade graduation; this, until
the balance is canceled.
• IsiNet accounts will be blocked to those parents with a past due balance. All the fees must be
up to date including annual fees, lunchroom, monthly payments, and monthly late fees.
• From May 9 to 12 students will take their final tests in the morning. There will be no classes in
the afternoon. A light lunch will be served. Parents must pick up their children from 11:30 AM
to 12:00 noon.
• Final test repositions will be on May 12th, from 7:50 AM-9:50 AM.
Important information:
1. Final tests are not partial, they are final. This means they must include basic skills for each
subject covered in the semester. The structure of the final tests will be multiple choice and critical
thinking questions.
2. Reviews will include skills that will be measured in the test. Yet, those skills will not be
presented in the test using the same form or structure as in the reviews.
3. Try to avoid students being absent for the finals. Any reposition will only be allowed if it is due
to a justified cause.
4. Teachers will take their lunch break at 12:00 noon and cannot be responsible for the students
after 12:00. They will utilize the afternoon to correct tests, work on the grades in the isiNet internet
portal, and to work on the end-of-school year paperwork.

Felicitamos a todo el equipo de Washburn por todas las actividades preciosas y significativas que hemos desarrollado durante
estas dos últimas semanas. Podemos mencionar entre ellas el día de Pista y Campo, Ceremonia del NHS, Día del maestro y Día

El reconocimiento a nuestro personal y a nuestro estudiantado es parte de nuestra misión en Washburn y esto hace la diferencia.
Agradecemos todos los gestos de solidaridad y felicitación recibidos por parte de los padres. Gracias a ustedes es que Washburn
cumple con lo que se ha trazado: el niño como centro, el maestro como agente de cambio y toda el área administrativa como un

Saludos padres, madres y estudiantes:
El pasado 30 de abril y domingo 1ro de mayo, se celebró en Ponce el tan esperado evento Relevo por la Vida
de la Sociedad Americana contra el Cáncer de Puerto Rico. Me place anunciar que Washburn School logro la
meta gracias a ustedes, recaudamos un total de $1, 664.21 entre ventas de camisas, auspicios y donativos. De
igual forma, la comunidad escolar apoyó el evento con su asistencia. Estudiantes, padres, maestros y personal
administrativo demostramos por qué en Washburn decimos que somos una gran familia.
Les informo además que del 4 al 7 de mayo no estaré disponible en la institución ya que nos encontraremos en
el Torneo de Excelencia en el Estadio Mariano ‘Nini’ Meaux de Juncos en gestiones oficiales de la Washburn
Baseball Academy. Cualquier situación será canalizada por nuestra directora académica, Sra. Norma I. Colón.
“No hay mayor religión que el servicio a los demás. Trabajar por el bienestar común es el mejor credo.”

I highly recommend reviewing, spelling and reading all the High-Frequency Words learned until the moment
every time you can. As well as the letters learned in the ENGLISH CLASS.
It is recommended to read to your child at least 10-15 minutes daily, let’s help them become great readers!

2nd – 6th Grades- We will be reviewing for the final exams during this week!
National Elementary Honor Society Members- Welcome and congratulations! Being a member of the
NEHS requires students to perform service activities throughout the year. Our first activity is the
collection of used towels, sheets, and plastic bowls for homeless dogs here in Puerto Rico. So far we
have collected 9 towels, 6 sheets, 7 plastic bowls, 11 cans of dog food, and 34 pounds of dry dog food.
Thank you for all your help, but we still need more.
Please bring your donations to Mrs. McGann in the 4th grade classroom. Remember together we can
make a difference.
