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.

Watertown High School FFA students recently hosted the annual "Day on the Farm" where elementary school students come to the high school to learn about animals and farming. During the event, the younger students had the opportunity to pet sheep and rabbits, watch a drone sprayer in action, view tractors, ask questions of the high schoolers and more. It was a beautiful, sunny day for outdoor learning. 🐑🐇🌽
