CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GRADUATES! These fabulous six individuals graduated from the Watervliet WAY High School, receiving their diplomas on January 24th. Each one of these students are so dedicated and driven - we are so proud of their accomplishments. It has been such an honor to be a part of their academic journey and to witness their perseverance. These graduates will do amazing things in their next chapter of life! Hats off to the Class of 2024!
Due to icy road conditions, all Watervliet Public Schools will be closed today, January 23, 2024. A decision will be made regarding evening activities by noon today.
Back roads are very dangerous at this time and will be for the next few hours. Please be VERY CAREFUL.
Panther Families:
Due to adverse road conditions, WPS is canceling all PM activities tonight, January 22nd. It is predicted that the ice will let up around 6 PM, but come back in the early morning tomorrow. We await an update from the National Weather Service late afternoon before making a call regarding school attendance tomorrow.
Please consider having a backup plan for kiddos for tomorrow as we will not know until late this evening what our plans for tomorrow will be. Please be on the alert for an all-call or text with additional information.
Go Panthers,
Ric Seager

We held our WAY Christmas party for students this week! We make learning fun here at the WAY Program.
Our WAY students have the opportunity to attend the Vo-Tech Center during their Junior and Senior years. Pictured are a few of our students in their enrolled classes! Our Sophomores were able to visit last Friday and had fun learning about courses that interest them.
Students from the W-A-Y Watervliet program from Watervliet Public School were on hand to help at the Living Water Food Pantry at the Watervliet Free Methodist Church, 7734 Paw Paw Ave. The food pantry operates on Mondays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the lower level of the church. Students helped pass out over 100 turkey dinners for this Thanksgiving holiday.
Please come out and support the WHS Chapter of National Honor Society this Saturday Nov. 18th for a Pancake Breakfast in the High School Cafeteria running 9am -12pm. Orders are $7 a plate, dine in and pick up options are available. Click Here to Pre-Order for pickup. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT of Watervliet High School NHS!
Watervliet Public Schools apologizes for the errant robo-calls late last evening. This was not a result of WPS error, but rather a technical glitch from our vendor.
We alerted the vendor of the issue when they opened this morning. They made the fix, stress-tested their systems, and have assured us that this error will not happen again. Additionally, you will see a Watervliet Schools' phone number on future automated calls, not an Arkansas or Virginia number.
Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience and our provider has assured us it will not happen again.
We regret to inform you that the Homecoming Parade scheduled for this afternoon has been canceled due to the likelihood of poor weather conditions. The football game will take place at 7:00 PM as planned.
Join us on Wednesday, September 27th OR Tuesday, October 25th for a Community Forum regarding the Bond Project before voters this November. Learn about the proposed projects and get your questions answered.
Watervliet Public Schools would like to thank all of our community members who took time to vote in yesterday's election. While we are disappointed with the results, we understand that our community has spoken.
In the coming weeks and months, we will deconstruct this effort, actively seek input from community members, and determine our next steps. While the needs still exist, we will work with interested and engaged people to do whatever we can to build on the successes of the past and a better future for WPS.
Thanks again for being a partner in Watervliet Public Schools
Don't forget to vote in tomorrow's election regarding the Bond Project for WPS.
