Watertown Public Schools

The Watertown community has suffered a tremendous loss. Two former students were tragically killed last night in a shooting at their home. Although the two siblings who were killed were not enrolled at our High School, they attended Watertown schools through eighth grade and formed close relationships with students and staff over the years. This morning, crisis teams are in place at Watertown High School and Swift Middle School to support students and staff as they grieve. Our school community, like the wonderful town we live in, will come together to do everything we can to provide support to our students, staff and families during this difficult time.

I am excited to hear from Scarlett Lewis from Choose Love who is sharing about SEL in partnership with the Watertown Rotary Club! #WatertownCares

Today we pause to recognize our Veterans! We are grateful for your courage and sacrifice!
