This Week at Waters - February 27
February 27, 2026
Waters Families,
Our 3rd, 4th and 6th graders will be completing IAR testing starting Tuesday of the coming week. The test is administered over three days and is an assessment of students' abilities in math and reading, based on Common Core Standards. Please keep an eye out in classroom newsletters for details more specific to your student's class.
Additional summer program options with Ms. Ramirez (Latin Dance & Advanced Painting) for grades 3rd through 8th have been added to the sign up form.
The annual principal evaluation survey conducted by the Local School Council is also now available and will be open until March 20. Please see the link further down the newsletter.
Congratulations Everly Gaubatz who will be representing Waters' student body on the Local School Council for the 2026-2027 school year!
With kindness,
Mr. R.

_____________________________________________________________
Familias de Waters,
Ha llegado el momento de que el Consejo Escolar Local realice su evaluación anual del director. El Consejo Escolar Local (LSC) tendrá en cuenta sus comentarios al completar las evaluaciones de desempeño requeridas para el Sr. Rutkowski. Sus respuestas a estas preguntas son anónimas y se mantendrán confidenciales.
Haga clic aquí para acceder a la encuesta.
La encuesta consta de dos secciones. En la primera, le preguntamos si está de acuerdo o en desacuerdo con breves afirmaciones sobre el desempeño del Sr. Rutkowski como director. En la segunda, tendrá la oportunidad de responder libremente. Esperamos que la encuesta le tome de 15 a 30 minutos de su tiempo y agradecemos enormemente su disposición a compartir sus opiniones.
Por favor, complete este formulario a más tardar el viernes 20 de marzo. No se aceptarán más envíos después de esa fecha para que el LSC tenga tiempo de revisar toda la información.
Gracias. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en contactarme.
Kerrie Rovito
Miembro del personal del LSC
Presidenta del Comité de Evaluación del Director
