On Friday, May 17, Sr. Kleine's Watertown High School Spanish Texts and Composition students traveled to Schurz Elementary School to read the children's stories they authored and illustrated to Sra. Dresser's and Mrs. Bethke's Dual Language Kindergarten students. The books were a final project for the class' Literatura Infantil (Children's Literacy) unit in which they studied the positive effects of reading to children, aspects and characteristics of children's literature, and read the famous children's story "El Principito" (The Little Prince). Both WHS and Schurz students greatly enjoyed each other's company!
Enrollment for the WHS Freshmen Experience is now underway - all incoming freshmen are highly encouraged to attend this event on August 13, from 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Watertown High School.
The Freshmen Experience is a fun, transitional opportunity for all incoming 9th-graders. Students will learn exciting things about the high school, become more familiar with the building, meet WHS staff members, and be able to ask questions to help ease their worries during this exciting transition.
While the Freshmen Experience is not a summer school course, we are using Arena Scheduling for registration. Please see the detailed instructions on how to register for this awesome opportunity. You can access scheduling by logging into Skyward Family Access.
