From the Watertown School District: Thanks for helping us get things rolling here in Watertown. We are looking forward to seeing your children again on Thursday for the start of the year. The travel procedures have been updated, so please take a look at them here, https://5il.co/k1ak. Please also take a look at our Positive COVID Procedures, https://5il.co/k8nn. Hopefully this clarifies the phone message from last Friday. A reminder that restricting visitors (including parents) in the buildings this year unless an appointment is made. Best wishes on the school year ahead.

From the Watertown School District: We hope you are ready for us to begin school on Thursday, August 27. You should have received information about the Open Houses at each school already slated for next week.

1. Here is a link for the symptoms self check we are asking each family to use in the mornings before sending their children. Thank you for helping us on that one. https://5il.co/k1aj.

2. We are also asking for your assistance in the mornings with drop-off by bringing your child as close to 8:25 as possible if you are able. Schools will still be open prior for those who still need our normal drop-off.

3. We are only allowing visitors by appointment only, and you will need to be temp checked and asked some COVID related questions prior to entering the building.

4. We know there will be instances of COVID positive individuals in our buildings. You will receive a notification should your child be in proximity to the affected person. The official notification will be made by the Department of Health.

For further information, please continue to check the Covid-19 resource page at https://www.watertown.k12.sd.us/o/watertown-school-district/page/covid-19-resources--13. Thank you, and have a great school year.
