Here’s the route for tomorrow’s Homecoming Parade! 🎉 The parade will depart from Waterford High School at 1:15 p.m. and make its way through town, passing by all of our schools so students can watch and show their Wildcat spirit. We’d love to see families and community members lining the streets to cheer on our Wildcats! 💙

🌎 We Participated in the Great ShakeOut Today! 🌎 Today, all of our schools joined millions of participants across the globe for the Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drill—the world’s largest earthquake preparedness event! 🌍 Our students and staff practiced “Drop, Cover, and Hold On” to be ready in case of a real earthquake. The Great ShakeOut is a reminder of the importance of being prepared and knowing what to do during an earthquake. This global event helps ensure we’re ready to stay safe, wherever we are! Thank you for your continued support as we work together to prioritize student safety. 💙 #WaterfordCares #WUSD

Join us for our next WUSD Family Night: Every Child Matters. This Forum will be hosted in partnership with Love Waterford on Thursday, October 2, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at the WHS Auditorium. Dinner will be provided as we come together to explore The Dark Side of Social Media. This important conversation will address the risks students face—including mental health struggles, substance use, online harassment, threats, identity theft, and trafficking—and how parents and students can protect themselves. The evening includes a live Q&A with our expert panel, followed by a hands-on project where we will pack 100 Bags of Compassion for survivors of human trafficking. Parental guidance is recommended, as some topics may be sensitive for young children.
