Dear Watertown Public Schools Faculty and Families,
The first two days of school were a great success! Thank you to all of our faculty and staff for making the first days of school enjoyable, safe, and welcoming for all of our students. And thank you to all of our families for working with us these first few days to ensure a smooth transition back to school - your patience is much appreciated as students get back into routine.

From the Food Services Department
New this year is the ability to complete your Free & Reduced Lunch application completely online by clicking HERE! Breakfast and lunch will be free for students through December 31, 2022 so we encourage all families to fill out an application in preparation of the new year. Paper FRL applications will also be sent home with your student.
3. Bus Routes and the First View Bus App
More information regarding the First View App will arrive late next week. We wait until the first full week of school is complete to confirm any adjustments to routes before the app goes live.
Have a wonderful long Labor Day weekend!
Sincerely,
Dr. V
