New building update
Seal of Biliteracy Test
Is your student fluent in more than one language? Did you know that last year 35 WHS students and this year 19 students have proven that they are? The Seal of Biliteracy testing is back for the spring.
Seniors who have never taken the test, seniors who want to retake a portion of the test, and juniors taking the test for the first time can sign up using the following link. Sign up by Wednesday, March 8th. Testing will take place in the language lab during the week of April 4-8.
For more information, please contact Adam Silverberg - World Language Coordinator at adam.silverberg@watertown.k12.ma.us.
COVID/Mask update
Please read this mask update from the Superintendent.
If your student was enrolled in the at-home COVID test program and received their test before break, please plan to administer one of the two tests before school on Monday, February 28th. Pooled PCR testing will also take place on Monday of that week, which will give us good data regarding positivity rates as we return.
Returning after COVID
If you test positive for COVID and you are asymptomatic, you may come back on day six. The day you test positive for COVID is day 0. For example, if you get a positive test on Wednesday (day 0), you can return on the following Tuesday (day 6). See chart below.
If you are symptomatic and then you test positive, day 0 is the first day you start to develop symptoms.
If you test positive and develop symptoms AFTER your positive test, day 0 resets to the day you become symptomatic.
YOU CAN ONLY RETURN after 5 days of isolation if you were asymptomatic, OR if you are fever-free and your symptoms are resolving.
If you have COVID, you cannot be part of pool testing for 90 days from your positive test, as you may test positive for up to 12 weeks on a PCR test.
