We join the Watervliet community today in mourning the loss of a nine-year old child. This sad news touches the hearts of all in our school community, especially the teachers and classmates of the child who had previously attended Watervliet Elementary School.
Our school counselors and support staff will be available on Monday and during the following days to provide assistance to any students and staff members who need help processing this tragic news.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
With deepest sympathy,
Dr. Donald Stevens
Superintendent
