Welcome Back!
The start of a new school year is always very exciting. Although we’re forced to say goodbye to the hot weather and freedom of summer, we gain the opportunity to see friends that we’ve missed and get back into the swing of things here at school.
While school has been out for the summer, things have been hopping at Watervliet City Schools. Our construction project at Waterlviet Elementary school is on-going and we are beginning the preliminary steps toward the renovations at Watervliet Junior – Senior High School. Although construction projects can be unpredictable and sometimes inconvenient, the pay-off will come when these projects are complete - we will have two newly renovated school buildings to be very proud of. I am pleased to report that the projects are on schedule moving forward as they should.
Also this summer, the Watervliet City School District Board of Education has adopted a new mission statement for the district. This mission statement is the result of a great deal of hard work by our Mission Statement Committee. The committee is made up of teachers, support staff, administrators and community members.
We will spend a lot of time this fall promoting and discussing this new mission statement with our students, staff and community. We hope that the entire school community will support us as we seek to fufill this new vision and mission for our district.
The mission of the Watervliet City School District is to inspire, educate and challenge every student, every day!
Please visit our website to read about the shared beliefs and values that will support this new mission
I hope that the summer was enjoyable and relaxing for everyone and I look forward to spending the next ten months continuing our efforts to achieve excellence for every student, every day!
