Parent Update

Greetings WHS families,
 

Believe it or not Spring Break has arrived and the third trimester is in full swing at WHS!  Please remember that students do not report to school on Friday, March 25 as this date is a teacher planning day.  WUSD Spring Break is March 26-April 3rd- I hope everyone has a happy, healthy break and we look forward to seeing students again on Monday, April 4th!


Sincerely,

 

Josh Kerr, Principal
Watertown High School

 

Spring Break

  • The last day of school prior to Break will be Thursday, March 24. This is a regular day for all students with a 3:30 dismissal. The first day back from Break will be Monday, April 4. The WHS Office will be closed for Spring Break from March 25 at 4:00pm until 7:00am on Monday, April 4. Have a great Break!

ACT ASPIRE Testing (9th & 10th Grade)

  • The ACT ASPIRE will once again be used at the 9th and 10th grade levels to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programming in Wisconsin public schools. The results of these tests will comprise a portion of our school and district report card and the administration of these assessments will take place on Thursday, April 14. As was the case last month with the ACT for 11th graders, it is our desire to create a distraction-free environment that is conducive to students performing at their very best on these important assessments. As a result, ALL WUSD 9th and 10th grade students will attend school on Thursday, April 14, 2022. Students in grades 11, and 12 will NOT have school on Thursday, April 14, 2022.

Graduation

  • Graduation is currently scheduled for Saturday, June 11 at 10 a.m. and will take place in the WHS Fieldhouse. This will be a ticketed event for guests, with each graduate being allocated eight (8) tickets. Unused tickets will be made available to families who may want additional tickets. The process of ticket distribution will be made available after spring break. Arrangements are being made to live-stream the ceremony for additional family members. Should health conditions take a turn for the worse, it is possible that we may need to revise our plans. Stay tuned for additional communications in the weeks ahead!

Senior School Fees

  • We would like to remind parents that all school fees must be paid in full in order for your child to participate in the Graduation Ceremony. Fees can be paid by cash or credit card and are due no later than Friday, May 27, 2022 by 3 p.m. 

Prom

  • Mark your calendars for the junior/senior prom which will be held on Saturday, May 7!  Prom will be held from 8:00 p.m. - 11:30 p.m. here in the WHS Commons, with the Post Prom to follow from 11:30 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. at the Elks Lodge.
