Mathematics Mr. Donato

Students, Parents, & Caregivers,

Welcome and welcome back!! I hope you all had a relaxing and rejuvenating summer. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with everyone this school year. Please don't hesitate to reach out throughout the school year if you have any questions or concerns. The best way to contact me is via email. You can find my email address as you scroll through this smore. I look forward to meeting my new students and their families as well as reconnecting with those who are returning. I hope this year is a successful year just not in terms of academic growth, but growth as an individual and member of the WMS community.

All my best,

Brian Donato

My name is Brian Donato. I have lived my entire life in Watertown. I attended the Hosmer for Kindergarten and the Cunniff for grades 1-5 before spending grades 6-8 at the Watertown Middle School. I graduated in 1998 from Boston College High School, in 2002 from Boston College with degrees in Elementary Education and English, and in 2003 from Boston College with a Masters in Moderate Special Needs (5-12). This is my 23rd year working at the Watertown Middle School; 22 years as a special education teacher and 1 year as an Instructional Assistant.

My wife Jess is a 3rd-grade teacher at the Hosmer. Our oldest, Brennan, is in 7th grade at WMS, and our youngest, Griffin, is in 3rd grade at the Hosmer. Our immediate family includes Bubbles and Bruno, our twin cats. I am one of five siblings (two sets of twins) and have a twin brother. Some things to know about me: I am a member of the International Society of Huggers, my favorite color is purple, I prefer the Harry Potter books to the movies, I make a mean French toast, when I retire I want to get a job at a zoo, and I have worked for the Watertown Recreation Department for 32 years at Camp Pequossette.
