Getting students ready for kindergarten

Beginning this fall, the Washougal School District will provide full-day kindegarten to all students as a part of a $19.6 million, voter-approved maintenance and operations levy.

In order to help prepare students, Washougal Community Education is offering a free, six-week, “Ready, Set, Kindergarten,” program at Hathaway Elementary School to help students entering kindergarten understand and learn classroom behavior and expectations, and adjust to the rigors of a full-day program. The last day is Thursday.
