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
