The WUSD Student Services team recently toured the newly-opened Matz Center located on Milford Street in Watertown. The Matz Center is a youth crisis stabilization facility for children aged 10-17 in need of residential short-term mental health programming in a supportive and structured environment. During the tour, the student services team held a collaborative discussion regarding youth mental health and resources for parents and guardians. In addition, they discussed the different responsibilities of student service educators, mental health professionals, and parents/guardians in meeting the needs of children.

There is nothing like international friendships! The Watertown-Heringen exchange program exists to help create friendships between students at WHS and our partner school in Germany. No knowledge of German is required—the program is open to all WHS students, including incoming freshmen. Open your home to a German student and experience the fun of introducing them to American culture! Travel to Germany and experience the excitement of discovering a new culture! Twenty German students will be here October 12-20 and WHS students will travel in June of 2025, traveling for a week and spending a week with a host family. Participants can host or travel or do both. See Frau Schneider in S274 or email schneiderk@mywusd.org to get information about being a part of the exchange.

Candidates running for a seat on the Watertown Unified School District Board of Education will have an opportunity to introduce themselves to the community at the Board’s next regular meeting on Monday, March 18, at 6 p.m. at the Educational Services Center, 111 Dodge St. Presently, there are five candidates seeking three open seats on the board. The candidates include Julie Janowak, Tina Johnson (I), Dan Voeltner, Charity Chandler, and Samuel Ouweneel. Each candidate will be given three minutes toward the start of the Board meeting for introductions. The election will take place on Tuesday, April 2. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jarred Burke said he appreciates the willingness of Watertown area residents to run for a seat on the school board. He said the District is presently facing, and will continue to face, complex issues related to funding, staffing and enrollment. “The Administration and Board are working hard to set the direction and vision of the district,” said Burke. “We are excited for the community to be able to learn more about the candidates’ skills and the new ideas they could bring to the table as board members.” For those who cannot attend the board meeting in person, it may be viewed via Zoom by clicking the following link: https://mywusd-org.zoom.us/j/93338943075?pwd=OXViSDcyTGFxZGRhRHRHa0RpMGt2UT09

The Peters Family read the story, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind as a part of our eCampus Academy school wide read aloud in February. They extended their learning about wind turbines, by building a replica. This particular model captured the wind and powered a vehicle. Great work, scientist!
