winter playoffs
We had very strong individual performances at the state meets for our track and wrestling programs. This past weekend, our girls wrestling program scored exceptionally well at the state tournament. We are very proud of both programs and applaud all their hard work and effort this season.
The MIAA playoffs start this week. We are very excited to have four teams competing in the winter MIAA playoffs. The Girls' Ice Hockey team finished the season 15-5 and is the number twenty-four seed in the tournament. The girls will play the number nine seed Canton High School. Girls' Basketball finished the season with a 16-6 record. The girls are the number seven seed and host the number twenty-six seed Greater Lowell Technical School. The Boys' Basketball team finished 13-7, earned the number two seed, and will host the thirty-fourth seed Medway. The Boys' Ice Hockey team earned the number two seed and will host the thirty-fourth seed South Shore Vocational Technical school. Last but not least, Varsity Cheerleading has advanced to regionals at Billerica High School. We are very proud of all our teams, and we wish them great success throughout the playoffs. Go Raiders!

Seal of Biliteracy Test
Is your student fluent in more than one language? Did you know that last year 35 WHS students and this year 19 students have proven that they are? The Seal of Biliteracy testing is back for the spring.
Seniors who have never taken the test, seniors who want to retake a portion of the test, and juniors taking the test for the first time can sign up using the following link. Sign up by Wednesday, March 8th. Testing will take place in the language lab during the week of April 4-8.
For more information, please contact Adam Silverberg - World Language Coordinator at adam.silverberg@watertown.k12.ma.us.
Returning after COVID
If you test positive for COVID and you are asymptomatic, you may come back on day six. The day you test positive for COVID is day 0. For example, if you get a positive test on Wednesday (day 0), you can return on the following Tuesday (day 6). See chart below.
If you are symptomatic and then you test positive, day 0 is the first day you start to develop symptoms.
If you test positive and develop symptoms AFTER your positive test, day 0 resets to the day you become symptomatic.
YOU CAN ONLY RETURN after 5 days of isolation if you were asymptomatic, OR if you are fever-free and your symptoms are resolving.
If you have COVID, you cannot be part of pool testing for 90 days from your positive test, as you may test positive for up to 12 weeks on a PCR test.
