The commercial food industry is experiencing unprecedented labor shortages due to Covid-19. As a result of these shortages, many manufacturers cannot produce the products that we and other school districts throughout the country normally use. We are not aware of these shortages until the day of our food order delivery. Due to the shortages changes will be made as needed to the menu. To keep communication to our staff and parents as current as possible, we will only be posting menus through the school website. Under each school a menu section is available for the most current and up to date menu. Thank you for your continued patience with this issue.
Homecoming Button Sales begin tomorrow and continue on Friday this week. Sales will be completed during student lunch periods @ Lincoln. Each button costs $1. One (1) button will provide entrance for one (1) person to the homecoming activities next week - Legend of the Arrows, powder puff football game, pep rally, burning of the 'W'. Curricular activities will still require an athletic ticket or payment at the gate for admission.
To all of our Watertown School District families: Thank you so much for helping us get through this unusual year. We appreciate your patience and flexibility, as we dealt with the COVID situation. We know it took work on your part, but we feel it was all worth it to continue educating the students in Watertown. Thank you for helping us keep our students and staff safe to finish the year! Best wishes on your summer.

The Watertown School District announces free breakfast and lunch for all students beginning October 1 and continuing through December or until federal funding runs out. Any enrolled student in K-12 is eligible for these meals. We have also changed our student close contact procedures. Beginning on October 5, if a student is masked, they would have the option of following the recommended 14-day close contact quarantine or choose to quarantine for 72 hours and come back to school masked, temp checked and socially distanced where permitted. School principals will notify you should this happen in your child's school. We are also changing the language with regards to masking from "highly recommended" to "expected." All students were given a mask to start the year, and we ask that you make sure your child has one with them each day. More details on the close contact procedures can be found at: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/949702/Close_Contact_Student_Leave_Procedure.pdf. With this change, WHS will resume in-person classes on Mon. Oct. 5, and 7-12 activities will resume as well next week.
