8th Grade families who have been assigned to Washburn for the 2019-2020 school year are invited to join us for our Registration Event on April 25th. You can choose one of three sessions to attend as they all share the exact same information: 4:30pm / 5:45pm / 7:00pm
Staff, student, and parent volunteers will be available during registration to answer any questions and assist you in completing your registration.  Information regarding athletics, arts, extra-curricular activities, and student services will be available in the hallway near the auditorium and small gym (103) during the sessions. Session presentations have a set start time and we encourage families to be on time so you don't miss important information. Attending this event is by far the best way to choose your classes for high school. A sample course card, sequencing and course descriptions are available at http://washburn.mpls.k12.mn.us/curriculum_guide .  Questions? Call Parent Liaison @ 612-668-3440
