The Board of Education has hired School Perceptions, an independent education research firm, to conduct the survey and to ensure all responses are kept confidential.
The survey has recently been emailed to WUSD staff members, and it will also be emailed to WUSD parents and guardians this week. If multiple members of one household would like to take the survey, additional copies can be obtained by contacting Lynn Linskens at (920) 262-1460 ext. 3202 or by emailing linskensl@mywusd.org. Each survey contains a unique confirmation code to avoid duplication.
The survey response deadline is Nov. 17. The Board of Education thanks the community for its support of our public schools and strongly encourages all voters in the district to complete the survey. For more information, visit: https://www.watertown.k12.wi.us/page/spring-referendum.
During the free community event, attendees viewed raku firing and smoke demonstrations and talked with students as they sculpted and glazed clay bowls, cups and figurines. In addition, pottery, jewelry, and other crafts were on display by local artists.
Mark your calendar for the next free community arts event – the K-12 Student Art Showcase on Nov. 19 at WHS.
