Washington Primary School Parents/Guardians. We have been notified of a number of individuals who have tested positive for COVID in one of our classrooms. While current protocols allow us to initiate a routine testing protocol we have chosen to be more restrictive in this particular case in order to minimize the potential for further spread. The current number of positive cases is not considered to be an “outbreak” as defined by Colorado/Local health department guidelines. However, we are acting out of an abundance of caution and are asking students from Mrs. Case’s first grade classroom to isolate and work remotely through the end of this week. They will return to in-person learning on Monday, January 24, 2022.

This notice is for Washington Primary and Jefferson Intermediate parents. The City is repairing a water line on Pine Avenue just west of Washington School. The entire street is blocked off and so cars cannot access the schools by turning from Main Street and traveling east on Pine. Instead, we encourage everyone to use 12th Street and turn onto Pine Avenue traveling west to the schools.
