Principal's Newsletter
Week of; January 4 - 8
I wish you a happy and healthy New Year! I hope that the December break was a restful one and that you are ready to embrace the next six weeks as our partners in your child's education with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Here are some reminders regarding the week ahead.
We begin the New Year remotely from January 4th - Wednesday, January 6th. Students return in-person on Thursday, January 7th for Cohort A and Friday, January 8th for Cohort B.
From the Superintendent:
We will be offering free COVID testing for all students Monday, January 4, and Tuesday, January 5 at Watertown High School, using the schedule below. If you have already signed up your child for testing, just show up at the times listed below. If not, please visit this link to fill out the consent form for testing. It is vitally important for as many families as possible sign up for ongoing testing, especially as we head into the winter months. Please do your part to keep our students and staff safe by signing up for testing. It’s quite easy and isn’t the long nasal swab, but rather the anterior short nasal swab.
