Dear Panther Family,
We hope you're enjoying a fantastic summer! As we eagerly anticipate the return of our Panthers in the coming weeks, we're excited to streamline this year's enrollment process for you and your family.
In previous years, returning students were required to complete a stack of paperwork during the initial days of school. This year, and moving forward, we have simplified this process by allowing you to complete all necessary forms directly from your phone or online device. These forms are essential for ensuring the safety and security of our students and staff, as well as maintaining the most accurate information for each student.
Attached, you will find detailed instructions on how to access and complete these forms. Should you have any questions or need assistance navigating the website, please do not hesitate to contact your child's school.
We look forward to a successful and smooth start to the school year!
Best regards,
Watervliet Public Schools

The Watervliet Public Schools Board of Education bid farewell to outgoing athletic director Ken Dietz on Monday evening, presenting him with a Golden Apple to commemorate his years of service to the District and his favorite Costco chocolate cake to cap off the final farewell. Board President Bill Spaulding and Superintendent Ric Seager made the Golden Apple presentation.
Ken has made a huge impact in the district with his work as a teacher, athletic director, and coach throughout the years, overseeing big changes, huge growth, and an abundance of successes. In his role as Athletic Director, he oversaw the addition of both boys' and girls' soccer programs, the initiation of the Hall of Fame Progam, facilities updates including the new turf football field, hosted many District and Regional tournaments, and most recently, celebrates a baseball State Championship. We congratulate Ken on his retirement from education and wish him the best in all his future endeavors.
