Dear Watertown Public Schools Faculty, Families and Students,
With unseasonably warm temperatures this weekend, it will be perfect weather to pick last minute pumpkins and just enough time to enjoy the magnificent colors painted by the leaves. Have a wonderful and spooky weekend Watertown!

Ongoing Unrest in the Nation and World
It’s nearly impossible to report on all of the devastating events that seem to be happening in the world at the moment. With the most recent events in Maine and the ongoing unrest in the Middle East and the Ukraine, we are here to support any of our students and families who are impacted by these occurrences. If you or someone you know needs assistance, do not hesitate to reach out directly to your child’s school and someone will connect you with someone who can help.

Coach Appreciation Month
A big shout out to all of our Athletic Coaches for stepping up the plate for all of our Watertown teams! A coach’s presence can have a powerful impact on a student’s life at any age. Thank you for leading every practice, cheering us on at every game, and taking our students one step further everytime our athletes show up.
Custodial/Maintenance Appreciation Month
Give three cheers to our custodial/Maintenance teams across the district for working when nobody’s watching. Maintaining and keeping our schools clean, bright and safe is a task we don’t take for granted. Thank you to our coaches and custodial/maintenance crews - We appreciate YOU!
