Fostering rich learning

As always, we are very appreciate that you, as parents and guardians, entrust your child(ren) to our care and guidance as they pursue their potential. Together, with an amazing team of staff members, we are fostering a learning environment that supports not only academic growth, but also social and emotional growth. We strive to create problem solvers who take initiative to be productive citizens who are community-minded and curious about the world around them.

Welcome to the home page for the Watertown City School District Personnel Office. This area of the new and improved WCSD website was developed to be more of a resource for current employees as well as to provide potential employees with helpful information related to working for the WCSD. We hope you find the site helpful, and we welcome you to call and/or visit our office if you have questions.

Communication Chain

Communication Chain

The Watertown City School District has developed this communication chain to promote direct, open, and respectful interactions so that questions and concerns can be worked out efficiently while also providing you with an opportunity to share compliments. The communication protocol starts with the staff member closest to the situation, as that person will usually have the information. At times, additional personnel are required to solve specific situations. Appropriate communication channels are listed here. The District encourages all questions from parents and residents regarding school matters.

If your issue has not been resolved after following all the appropriate steps in the communication protocol, the District Clerk can assist you in contacting the Superintendent’s Office. Then, if still unresolved, the clerk can assist you in communicating with the Board of Education.

Please be sure to have current information on file with the office where your child attends school if your child must go to another person's home for temporary care school when school is forced to close early.
