Thanks for your support!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out and supported our school budget this past Tuesday, May 18th.

In my time here at Watervliet, we have always worked very hard to ensure that we do not place too heavy a burden on our tax payers. This is more important today, during these hard economic times, than ever.

As I have stated throughout the budget process, it is our job to propose a budget that balances the needs of our students with our communities’ values and ability to pay. I believe that we have done that this year and that the support of the community in passing the budget confirms this.

Thanks to your support, our students will see no cuts in program or personnel here at Watervliet. All extracurricular activities and clubs will remain and our class sizes will continue to be appropriate. We are confident in the programs and people we currently have in place and their ability to stay true to our mission to inspire educate and challenge every student, every day!

Thank you again for your support.
