In 2014, California passed Assembly Bill 1826 requiring schools
to divert food waste from landfills to organic diversion
facilities where food waste can be repurposed into valuable
compost. This year Washington and 5 other schools in SCUSD
are piloting a food recycling program with our waste hauler,
Republic Services.
What are your hopes and dreams for your child? What would you
like us to know about your child? We are excited to begin our
FOURTH year and are looking forward to guiding your child’s
growth in innovation, collaboration, empowerment and agency.
First Day of School

Our school’s purpose can be narrowed to these beliefs, “We Lead,
We Innovate, We Empower and We Care”. It is through our
focus on caring that we’ve intentionally tried to design a
culture where all learners, families, staff and community members
feel safe, valued and supported. Our school community is
accepting of everyone and we strive to partner with families
and community organizations to continue to provide a safe
place for learning for all. #WeAreLocomotives
I want to take a moment to reflect with you. I am
excited to have the opportunity to partner with you in continuing
our journey in building a STEAM school from the ground up.
