WHAT'S UP AT WMS?
House of Blues Trip
ROCKIN' FIELD TRIP
The WMS Chorus took a trip to the House of Blues in November and learned about the history of American Blues music through an interactive, engaging concert from the Blues Schoolhouse. Some of our students even got to sing with the band! Thanks so much to our amazing parent volunteers, Mr. Saunders, and Mr. Frontz.
 
ANNOUNCEMENTS
REMINDER! MANDATORY VERIFICATION
If you have not yet completed your annual verification, please do so by December 20th! This includes verifying your contact information and permissions for the current school year. Families have also received reminder emails.
------------------------------------------------------------
Previously shared:

We are excited to announce that the Fall Annual Verification is open! This process utilizes our online registration/enrollment system and is required annually to verify and update student demographics, health, family contact data, and permissions.

Families should have received an email for each student with a Snapcode. The Snapcode acts as a key to access your student’s current information. Using the link in the Snapcode email, you will be automatically directed to your student’s data on the Watertown’s Registration/Enrollment site. Each Snapcode is unique to one student. Families will receive a separate email and snapcode for each student.

All questions can be directed to our Registrar's Office at (617) 972-4216 or via email to terri.stafford@watertown.k12.ma.us.
