Today is International Literacy Day! Did you know one of the greatest indicators of the likelihood of a child's ability to read at grade level is school attendance? Missing school has a negative effect on all learning but is particularly detrimental during primary school because of the negative effect it has on literacy. In fact, by third grade, only 17% of students who missed 18 or more days of school during their kindergarten and first-grade year could read at grade level.

August 31 marks International Overdose Awareness Day each year. It’s a day to remember those who have been lost to overdose, acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind, and renew our commitment to end overdose and related harms.
One thing #WUSD is doing to #EndOverdose is ensuring that Naloxone is readily accessible on all campuses and that all staff are trained to administer it. Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose when administered in time.
You can join the fight to #EndOverdose by visiting the CDC webpage and learning more: https://www.cdc.gov/

At the Waterford Unified School District meeting last night, the Board of Trustees honored Waterford Jr. High School volunteer, Ron Kimberling. Mr. Kimberling has supported Waterford’s schools since 1983, when his children were enrolled. In recent years, he has been volunteering at Waterford Jr. High, where he has taken on a variety of supporting tasks as needed, including volunteering for school dances, running the cotton candy machine, stuffing envelopes at the beginning of the year, delivering special orders, decorating, supervising field trips, and much more. He is most famous around campus for being the designated “laminator mechanic,” and has kept the school’s circa 1952 laminator functioning for decades. Waterford Jr. High Principal Yvette Fagundes-Hall described Mr. Kimberling as “a man of great kindness and honor, whose decades of service to our school and district are characterized by his honest desire to see students and schools thrive, and a willingness to step in wherever he is needed.”
Join us in thanking Ron for his many years of commitment and service to our district.
