A few extra highlights this week to showcase our many end-of-year events and activities!

Jaylyn Le, a student in Mr. Welch's Introduction to Engineering Design course, one of the foundation courses in Pre-Engineering, created this trammel toy using AutoDesk Fusion computer-aided design (CAD) software. From there she used a 3D printer, a laser cutter, and hand tools to construct this working prototype. Awesome job, Jaylyn!

Recently Principal Giacobozzi joined Mr. Riley’s studio TV Production class on an episode of “What’s up Watertown”, which is will be airing this month on Watertown Cable Access TV! It is also available here.

Our very own Mr. Carmine Frongillo spoke with the Intro to Radio and Studio TV Broadcast classes last week. Mr. Frongillo had a successful career in sports reporting and our students were able to learn about the career and his path to get there!

Sra. Berardinelli's Spanish IV honors class visited Kitchen Orinoco on May 29th to experience the gastronomy of Venezuela. Many were introduced to arepas, yuca frita con mojo, pepitos and empanadas. Marta and her staff were kind and served our students speaking to them using the Spanish language. Everything was "olé" from start to finish!

Our team working on our new 50 Columbia Street building are working hard and tirelessly for us each and every day. Last Thursday was our Topping Off Ceremony where community members were offered a chance to sign the "final beam" of the building. Thank you to everyone who joined us and everyone who is working on our project!

The last day of the 2023-2024 school year is this Friday, June 14th! As a reminder, we do not sanction any "skip days", including the last day of school. Students will be dismissed at 12:30 pm.

Please review this document for details regarding student summer work.

Student medications must be picked up at the nurse's office by the parent, guardian

or parent/guardian-designated responsible adult by dismissal (12:30 pm) on the last day of school.

This is in accordance with Massachusetts Department of Public Health regulations.

Students may come to the nurse's office directly to pick up their medication on the last day

of school ONLY if their physician’s order says that they can self carry or self administer

their medication. If you are unsure if your student can self carry or self administer their

medication, please reach out to Nurse Healy directly (courtney.healy@watertown.k12.ma.us).

Student medications that are not picked up by this time will not be accessible over summer

vacation! If your student needs their medication during the summer months, please be

sure to pick it up from Nurse Healy on the last day of school - even if your

student is participating in a Watertown Public School summer program. Otherwise, you will

not be able to access this medication during the summer! Any medication that your student

requires during a summer program must be delivered directly to the nurse who is

responsible for that summer program.

Please see the entire letter from our nurses here.

Quarter 4 report cards will be mailed home instead of being handed out to students during the school day.

The Watertown Free Public Library will be offering a Summer Reading Program this year for teens going into grades 6-12. Registration starts June 14th!

Did you know that the Watertown Adult & Community Education catalog contains courses for students of all ages, as well as family courses for adults and students to take together?

Included in these offerings are several week-long enrichments the week of June 24th - June 28th, three 2-week music & drama courses, Dungeons & Dragons, music, STEM, and more!

See this document for more information and to review their catalog!

There will be a meeting of the WPS Family Cultural Ambassadors on Wednesday, June 12th, at 7:00 pm at the Watertown Public Library. Family Cultural Ambassadors are adults who commit to supporting newly arrived families that speak the same language so they can assist new families with their transition to living in Watertown. Family Cultural Ambassadors will attend a training and meetings to support the families they work with.

This summer, specifically for our Watertown parents, Project Literacy will be hosting English Language classes at the Lowell Elementary School on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. They have also teamed up with the Watertown Free Public Library Teens Department to create a conversation group for English Language Learners ages 12-17 years old.
