LETTER FROM PRINCIPAL CRESPO
Dear Parents,
This past week we held our annual Curriculum Night at Waters. I want to thank our staff for hosting and sharing their syllabi with you. If you were unable to attend the evening, all syllabi will be posted on our grade level classroom pages on our school website at www.waterselementary.org. A special thank you to WatersToday for arranging childcare with proceeds supporting our 8th graders Washington DC trip.
On Wednesday we will host our annual High School Information night at 6 p.m. in the Annex. This meeting is especially important for all 8th graders and their parents however we strongly encourage 6th and 7th grade students and parents to attend. It is never too soon to begin planning for high school.
And a reminder that the deadline for Medical forms is October 15. Please help Waters school reach 100% compliance and turn in your child's health forms. Failure to do so will exclude your child from attending school.
—Mrs. Crespo
