Our Programs

Washburn Elementary School is fortunate to be able to offer academic interventions through our PAWS program. Eligible students in kindergarten through fifth grade may benefit from the additional instruction this program provides. This is done through the use of research-based intervention strategies and materials in a daily small group setting taught by licensed teachers. The goal of PAWS is to help your child reach grade level expectations and become a successful independent student while experiencing success in classroom learning.

PBIS is guided by the sustained use of scientifically based behavior and academic interventions and supports:

  • Using data to drive decisions and solve problems.
  • Arranging the environment to prevent the development and occurrence of problem behavior.
  • Teaching and encouraging prosocial skills and behaviors.
  • Implementing evidence-based behavior practices with fidelity and accountability.
  • Monitoring student performance and progress.

We expect PBIS to not only maximize student engagement, but also increase student achievement for all students.

Kids' SAFARI is a before- and after-school child care program. Children participate in structured activities like gym or art, or they may choose to have free play in the game room or outside. Kids' SAFARI also offers full-day care on most days when school is not in session. This is a fee-based program and is open only to children who are enrolled at Washburn.

  • Before school: 6:30 - 8:30 a.m.
  • After school: 3:15 - 6 p.m.
