On Thursday, February 10, WHS reached its 10th day without a new case of COVID-19 identified in the building. As a result, and in keeping with WPS Return To Learn Plan, Friday, February 11th will be a mask optional day at the HS. All other buildings are still in mask-required status.

One of our WPS buses was slid into at the intersection of Pleasant and Red Arrow this morning. Very minor. No one was hurt and there was no damage to the bus. After a very brief delay the bus was released to continue the route and drop kids off at their schools.

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.
