Watertown Middle School 2019-2020
Happy December! Looks like we have some weather coming our way! I know middle schoolers have strong opinions about their clothing choices, but I do recommend warm clothes (i.e. no shorts) and layers throughout the winter, including boots/warm shoes, so their feet are dry throughout the day.
For Drop Off / Pick Up - Please be sure and use the Bemis Street entrance (NOT Waverly) before 8:30 am. The buses and vans use the Waverly entrance until 8:30 am and it is a safety issue to also have cars use that entrance.
I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving with family and friends (and less screen time). :) I know I am very thankful to be part of the Watertown Middle School community!
