The Watervliet Panther Baseball Team will arrive home victorious, this afternoon, having clinched their first ever State Championship title!!!!
The whole town is invited to celebrate at Panther stadium. It is planned that the team will have a police and fire department escort to the stadium from Safari Joe's beginning at 1:30 PM.
Festivities will include fireworks sponsored by Karla Smothers Insurance Agency and Tri-County Computer Services.
We couldn't be prouder of this group of young athletes, led by Head Coach Josh Tremblay. Way to go, Panthers!
As you know, the WHS Varsity Baseball team will play in the state finals tomorrow at 9 am in East Lansing. The team is leaving in vans from the high school today at 3 pm on the cafe/gym side of the building. All faculty, staff, parents, and community members are invited to come see them off before they head to MSU. They have worked hard, had an amazing season and would appreciate your well wishes, fist bumps and high fives before they take off.
TOMORROW, regardless of a win or a loss, we are celebrating the tremendous success of their season in Panther Stadium upon their return. We anticipate this will be around 2-ish, but will email and post out on social media when we have a definite time of their return--maybe 15-30 minutes in advance of their arrival. Please join us in the stadium to congratulate them and welcome them home to Panther Nation!
If you have questions or concerns about anything in this communication, you are welcome to reach out to Ms. Powers at cpowers@watervlietps.org.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our Panthers!

Teachers from South Elementary came back to school on their first two days of summer break to further their learning. We love our teachers’ dedication to student learning!
Watervliet Public Schools Staff and some of their family members celebrated a successful school year after the close of classes today with a Hawaiian-themed cookout. Kudos to Terry Adams and the Nutrition Services Staff; grillmasters Brandon Waggoner and Ric Seager; beverage wrangler Joe Berthold; and everyone who helped to decorate the cafe. They created a wonderful luncheon for the whole WPS staff. Special thanks and congratulations go out to the WPS faculty and staff for making the 2023-24 school year awesome for our students!
Mrs. Kerry Wilson's 6th-grade social studies classes' final projects for the year had kids teaming up and learning about different countries across the globe. Each created posters with information about the country they had chosen. Today they finished up their projects with a food fair. They served food or beverage items native to the culture of the country they studied to visitors and other students. Many brought in articles made in the country they were studying to display along with their posters. One student representing Canada even played "Oh Canada" on her flute throughout the event!
The lock down at WPS was lifted at 11:20 a.m.
Thank you for your support and patience.
Due to a threat at Hartford Middle School, all Watervliet campuses are currently on perimeter lockdown. No one will be allowed to enter or leave until an all clear is issued. WPS will provide details when the event is over.

An Important Message From Watervliet Public Schools.

For Parents of children attending the YDC program at Watervliet North School: Student Pick-Up will be at 5:00 instead of 6:00 today only due to a conflict with the choir concert happening at North School this evening.

It's that time of year where we get to individually honor and recognize each of the members of the Class of 2024! No place better to start than with CHASE TREMBLAY!
