Mirror Awards
Our theme this year is "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, There is a Leader in Us All".
Each week teachers can recognize a student in their classroom for his/her outstanding leadership. These students then get recognized over the Friday morning announcements with their name and brief summary of how they have been a leader in their classroom along with a "Mirror Award" paper certificate.

Absence Reporting
Watertown Unified School District recognizes personal illness, severe illness or a death in the family, religious observances, extreme weather conditions, required court appearances, and health appointments as reasons for excused absences. To ensure that medical absences are considered "excused", please provide a doctor's note for any appointments or medical situation requiring an absence. Students must have a note from a physician from physical education for any health reasons.
Students are considered LATE if they arrive at school after 7:55 AM. After 9:00 AM, students are considered absent. If students return to school before 11:30 AM, we consider the students absent one half day (morning).
If a student is to leave between 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM, they will be considered absent for one half day (afternoon). Students leaving after 2:00 PM, but prior to the end of the school day will also be noted through attendance as "leaving early", which will be considered LATE for the afternoon.
Students are considered truant if they were absent without an excuse from the list above OR a parent does not notify the school on/before the day of the absence. Truancy by a student, as well as contributing to truancy by a parent, is a violation of both State and City Law. A doctor's note should be provided to the office whenever possible. After 10 absences a doctor's excuse will be required to have the absence excused.
Thank you in advance for helping to make your student's attendance a priority. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Wendt.
