Dear Waterford High School Families,
I hope this email finds you well! Here are a few updates about what is scheduled for the next few weeks:
• Health Office Reminder: If your child becomes ill during the school day, please arrange to pick them up within 30 minutes of being notified. If you're unavailable, ensure an authorized family member or emergency contact can pick them up. Your prompt response helps us care for your child and maintain a healthy school environment. Thank you for your cooperation!
