Happy state admission day to our beautiful golden state of California! #WUSD

Today is International Literacy Day! Did you know one of the greatest indicators of the likelihood of a child's ability to read at grade level is school attendance? Missing school has a negative effect on all learning but is particularly detrimental during primary school because of the negative effect it has on literacy. In fact, by third grade, only 17% of students who missed 18 or more days of school during their kindergarten and first-grade year could read at grade level. #WaterfordCares #EveryDayCounts #WaterfordReads

Happy Labor Day! We appreciate the caring and relational work of our staff. Today, all school and district offices will be closed in honor of the labor day holiday. #WaterfordCares #RelationshipsMatter #WUSD

We hope to see you there! #BobcatsRead #WaterfordCares

Our #Bobcats have been practicing kindness all week! Today the school nurses received these beautiful pictures in celebration of #TheGreatKindnessChallenge.

Expanded Learning Program director, Jenn Parman, received the Christmas Parade award plaque on behalf of the ELOP department at the January 19th City of Waterford Council Meeting. Congratulations once again, Ms. Parman and staff, for a amazing parade entry!

Students in the Expanded Learning Program have been having a WILD time after school through the Cruzin Critters presentations. During these education presentations, students learn about a variety of wildlife, and get to pet and handle many exotic animals.

We hope you all had a restful winter break. The weather has not significantly affected our campuses, and all students can return to school as planned tomorrow, January 11th. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Congratulations to the WUSD Expanded Learning Program for winning "Best Music" in the Christmas Parade. Their entry included dual trailers. One carried The Grinch on top of his mountain home, and the larger trailer carried the residents of "Whoville," including the mayor, Cindy Lou Who, and dozens of Whoville children (the students). The judges loved their globe covered in artwork from their students - a nod to our theme for the year - but it was all the children of Whoville singing Christmas songs along the route that won them their category.
