Good evening
Due to staffing shortfalls related to illness, we must close all Watervliet Public Schools on Tuesday, January 25th.
Tomorrow will be treated like a snow day, with no students or staff reporting.
School leaders will work to make plans for Wednesday and beyond. The options we will be considering include:
* opening schools with limited or delayed bus runs;
* opening schools with families needing to provide their own transportation;
* keeping schools closed through Thursday,
* or providing remote instruction for Wednesday and Thursday.
You will receive a message from Watervliet Schools with these next steps.
Again, please look for information tomorrow afternoon regarding our next steps.
Thank you
All basketball games which were scheduled to have been played today at Coloma have been postponed. Both the girls and boys varsity games will now be played at Coloma on Monday, January 24th. The JV games have not yet been rescheduled.
The month of January provides a unique opportunity to acknowledge a special group of volunteer elected officials in education. It is SCHOOL BOARD RECOGNITION MONTH, and it offers communities across Michigan a way to acknowledge the continuing efforts of local and ISD school board members in providing leadership and guidance to local school districts.
We are pleased to recognize the members of the Watervliet Public Schools Board of Education and sincerely thank them for serving our school district with dedication, dignity, and Panther pride.
Kimberly Adams, Brian Gruszczyk, Wendy Hart, Eric Laws, Amanda Morlock-Fisher, John Oliphant, and Bill Spaulding, thank you for the work you do to assure that excellence is always a priority at Watervliet Public Schools.
