Waterford Junior High School

Our PE team hosted their very first lunchtime activity as part of PBIS! Students had the chance to join in, get moving, and show what it means to be Positive, Productive, and Professional while having fun together."

This week during lunch, students had the opportunity to explore and sign up for a wide variety of clubs at our Club Rush event! From academic groups to creative outlets and leadership opportunities, there was something for everyone.

Joining a club is a great way to meet new friends, build skills, and become an even more active part of our school community.

Science Teachers, Mr. Chimente and Mr. Kerr were the first department to host a PBIS Lunchtime Activity for the 25-26 school year. Our students were thrilled to get out of the heat and into the gym for an awesome Marshmallow/Spaghetti Tower Challenge. Congratulations to the winners of creating the tallest standing tower!

We are excited to host a new WUSD Gateway to Success class on our campus at WJHS—taught by Mr. Duarte!

This class is designed to help students transitioning from high school build practical life skills they’ll use every day. Currently, students are learning how to read and adapt recipes, as well as gaining hands-on practice with important household skills such as washing dishes and doing laundry. Having this class on our campus provides many opportunities for collaboration, and we are glad to support the district in offering this program.

We look forward to seeing the students continue to grow through these hands-on experiences!

This week our Yearbook Teacher, Ms. Ormonde has her students working on team building skills with a Marshmallow Tower Challenge and Speed Interviews.

We’re off to a fantastic start to the 2025–2026 school year! This week, our 7th Grade Expectations Assembly and Tiger Tours helped new students discover what it means to be a Positive, Productive, and Professional Tiger and tomorrow our 8th graders will receive their refresher. Our staff is energized and ready for the year ahead, and we can’t wait to partner with you in supporting your child’s growth and success. #WJHS #WaterfordTigers #WUSD
