Welcome to Washington Elementary School

We are one of the oldest, most established schools in the Boise School District and have a record of educational excellence.

Please take a moment to meet our teachers, explore the school site and see why we are so proud to be here. Our playground is small, but has met the needs of this school for over a hundred years. We have Spanish classes, a Chess Club, after school activities, a wonderful library, and a complete technology infrastructure with room to room television production capability, and Internet access. Our staff includes wonderful teachers and a remarkable group of individuals that make up our support personnel. Believe me when I say that this school is a gift to the children that attend classes here.

Our parents are some of the most supportive in the Boise District. We received an award from the State PTA for having a membership larger than the student enrollment. On any given day our building is filled with parent and community volunteers that see to the needs of every child. We also have a successful Partner in Education.

My name is Robert (Bob) Amburn and I'm the principal of Washington Elementary. I've been working for the Boise School District for thirty two years. I invite you to stop by the office any time in the future to visit and hopefully you and your children will become a part of this wonderful community.

Respectfully,

Bob Amburn
Principal
