Please see this important informational document about the spring MCAS testing.

Does your student speak a language other than English? If so, and if they are in 11th or 12th grade, encourage them to sign up to take the Seal of Biliteracy assessments to prove that they are bilingual! The seal are placed on students' diplomas and transcripts.

Students can register here and assessments will be in March.

It’s March Madness at WHS! It is important for students to maintain their academic momentum by coming to school each day, so please encourage your students to spring forward on the right foot by taking part in our March Madness. Every Monday we will identify a winning team who has had the best daily attendance for the previous week. Our student body will be broken into 10 teams according to their grade level and guidance counselor.  Students will be able to track the progress of their team on the bulletin board outside the WHS main office. Each week members of the winning team will be entered into a drawing for prizes. Please help our students March to victory and have a great end of the year!

Don't forget to register your student athlete for their spring sport! There is an information meeting next Tuesday, March 4th at 6:00 PM in the WMS Auditorium and the registration deadline is Monday, March 10th. Here is the newsletter from our Athletics Department with full information.

Earlier this month, Superintendent Galdston sent out this newsletter about the 5E's Parent/Caregiver Survey.

Students, teachers, and families have the opportunity to share their thoughts on the important elements of school effectiveness as part of this survey about our school. We would greatly appreciate any feedback you have to offer!

Class dues are collected every year from every student. Dues are $15 with a $5 late fee collected after the deadline (announced by advisor). Only cash or checks (made out to the City of Watertown) are permitted. These dues go towards all class events, gifts, scholarships, and more. Students who have not paid their yearly dues will, unfortunately, be turned away from class events.

If for any reason your family needs assistance with these dues, please connect with your student's class advisor. All information will remain confidential.

Friends of Watertown Music invites student musicians, friends, and families to perform in their annual MusicFest on Friday, April 11th! If you'd like to perform, please register here by March 26th.
