The Watertown Unified School District Board of Education is seeking to gauge voter support for a potential future operational referendum through a survey that will be mailed to all school district households later this week.
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.

Elementary-age students in the WUSD Summer School Snack Time class learned about desserts being a business this past Monday. They kicked off their dessert-theme week by eating ice cream sundaes and hearing a presentation from Hannah Otten, owner of Sweet Talkin' Treats in Watertown.
Hannah talked with students about the importance of kitchen safety, hand washing, teamwork, budgeting, proper clean-up and problem solving. She even brought treats from her bakery to share! šŖ

The fun and learning continues during Week 3 of the Watertown Unified School District Summer School program. Riverside Middle School was buzzing with activity this week as 5th-8th graders honed their baking skills, worked in teams playing board and card games, crafted beaded jewelry and decorations, and learned more about small animals and agriculture. Students also enjoyed plenty of gymnasium and outside time playing basketball, flag football, walking and talking, and biking around town.
š“š“āāļø RMS would like to thank Watertown drivers for being patient with the students who are biking around town with their instructors. Drivers have been very courteous about giving the bicyclists space and waiting for them to cross streets together as a group. This is sincerely appreciated!
