Waterbury Roar
Volume 1, Issue 32, April 30th, 2021
A Roar from our Principal, Dr. Jon Pokora
Waterbury Community,
I hope everyone enjoys the warm weather this weekend!
This week we wrapped up the IAR and ISA assessments!
As we enter the final month of the school year, please help us finish strong by following the health and safety guidelines.
At dismissal we are having some traffic jams. Please use the indented drive or the island to pick up your child. This way we can keep the flow of traffic moving. If you park, please wait until the traffic is clear and do not reverse out stopping traffic. Thank you for helping support a safe dismissal.
Thanks and have a great day,
Dr. Jon Pokora
Principal
Waterbury Elementary School
