Washington Elementary

A Positive Place Where Together We Are Accepted, Inspired and Encouraged to Grow.

Washington Elementary provides the program, After School Education Safety (ASES) through a contract with the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro, which administers the ASES program. A wonderful partnership developed between the San Leandro Unified School District and the Boys & Girls Club of San Leandro at Washington to create a fantastic ASES Program with the vision of "Exploring Our World Through Nature!"

While ASES is located at Washington, it is a separate program that students must be enrolled in to participate.  The program is open for students in first through fifth grade.  The Youth Development Coordinators work for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro at Washington and create amazing activities for students that are aligned with the State Education Standards.  

The program is open every day that school is in session until 6pm.  Members are required to attend five days a week for a minimum of 15 hours per week.  Monday through Thursday each member attends an Enrichment Block and a Homework Block.  On Friday members get to participate in Free Choice Fridays.  They have the opportunity to choose two activities like, cooking class, dance, dodge ball, science, just to name a few.

Paw Prints are given to K-5 students by Washington Staff for being helpful, safe, respectful, courageous, responsible, an active learner, honest and a special friend.  2-3 times a year they get to spend their Paw Prints at the Paw Print "store".

Each month, each teacher will highlight 2-3 students in their classroom. Every student will be highlighted sometime throughout the year. During the month that your child is highlighted, their picture will be posted on the bulletin board in the main entryway and listed in the Wildcat Press for all to celebrate.
