People can substitute from one to five days per week, and they can state their preference of grade level or school in which to substitute.

Starting tomorrow, 3/13 all Watertown Public Schools will be closed for 2 weeks. Students and will return on 3/30. While we will work to reopen schools as soon as our local health dept. feels it is safe, families should be prepared for the potential of an extended school closing.

We are closely following the Health Dept recommendations regarding the prevention of COVID-19 and how to respond if students or staff have been exposed. Do not rely on any communications regarding WPS unless it comes from my office, the BOE, or the Town of Watertown.

It was a great day at JTPS and I had a blast visiting my friends in Yellow Pod! #WatertownLearns
