Greetings WHS families,

Spring is in the air as we finally (hopefully) move past winter weather.  Have a great weekend and please see the updates below for important information as we march through the 3rd trimester!

Sincerely,

Josh Kerr, Principal
Watertown High School

Parent Teacher Conferences

  • WHS will be holding in-person parent teacher conferences on Monday, April 25. Parents must register via Skyward to make an appointment for conferences. If you wish to have a virtual conference, please register for a timeslot and contact the teacher to arrange the virtual conference. As always, WHS families are welcome to communicate with WHS teachers at any time to discuss progress in their student’s courses. Please register for conferences via Skyward by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 24.

Grades and Gradebook Checks

  • As we continue through the trimester, please continue checking your student’s grades in Skyward and communicate with your student’s WHS teachers if there are any academic concerns.  With only a few weeks remaining in the trimester as well as the school year it is more important than ever to ensure that your student makes the most of the academic opportunities available in their classes.  It is a busy, exciting time of year and WHS staff want to partner with WHS families to ensure every student has a fantastic, successful end to the school year!

Graduation

  • Graduation is scheduled for Saturday, June 11 at 10 a.m. and will take place in the WHS Fieldhouse. This will be a ticketed event for guests, with each graduate being allocated eight (8) tickets. Unused tickets will be made available to families who may want additional tickets. Please request your tickets by May 1st.

  • Graduation practice will take place on Friday, June 10 at 10 a.m. Attendance is required if students plan on participating in the Graduation Ceremony on June 11.

  • The Graduation Committee is looking for childhood pictures for the senior slideshow. Pictures can be submitted to whsgradpics@gmail.com The deadline to submit pictures is Friday, May 6.

Prom

  • Prom is Saturday, May 7 from 8:00-11:30 in the WHS.  The theme this year is Enchanted Evening, and it will be a great night with beautiful decorations and dancing.  The two junior and senior courts will be presented at 9:30 pm.  All students need to be in the prom by 9:30 pm.  Directly after the prom, students can go to the Elks Lodge on First Street. The post prom runs from 11:30-2:00 am and is free with your prom ticket.  If students are going to post prom, they must be there by 12:15 am, as there will be no admittance after that. The post prom will include a huge buffet of food, numerous games--from a ping pong and bags tourney to many casino games and giant Jenga.  Prize money can be won at many games. Beyond that, there will be over 100 door prizes for attendees, including an $800 Trek bike, TV, dorm refrigerator, microwave, numerous cash prizes, gift cards, and much, much more!  Tickets go on sale with the bookkeeper in the front office on Monday, April 18. Tickets are $25 per person, which includes admission to both prom and the post prom at the Elks Lodge.  Students can buy tickets until May 4 but don't delay--get your ticket ASAP--students will receive their ticket and wristband at prom on Saturday, May 7.
