Here's a second SHOUT OUT to show our appreciation for our School Lunch Heroes:
Our #WatertownWay Nutrition Services team has worked tirelessly to provide emergency meals to students since the pandemic closed schools in March of 2020. The extension of free meals for all students for the past two years, coupled with severe supply chain disruptions, has created many unique challenges requiring nutrition programs to be creative in the areas of staffing and meal production. A HUGE THANK YOU to our Nutrition Services staff for the effort and care that you pour into your work daily for our students!
May 6, 2022 is School Lunch Hero Day! Thank you to our amazing #WatertownWay Nutrition Services Team! We appreciate you!
Mrs. Degrandt's #WatertownWay 8th grade ELA class discussed the power of storytelling in a Socratic seminar. Students listened to the comments of others, thought critically for themselves and articulated their own thoughts and responses to the thoughts of others.
The Board of Education is conducting surveys for WUSD families and staff members to learn more about the values and qualities that our stakeholders are seeking in our next Superintendent. Your input is valuable and appreciated. This survey will be open from May 4-May 18.
