Watertown Public Schools

In 2016 the Watertown Public Schools undertook a master planning process with the assistance of Symmes Maini & McKee Associates (SMMA). A Steering Committee was created and an Educational Leadership team. This page provides information on the work of those groups as well as a copy of the Master Plan. Also included is a copy of an earlier study, completed in 2014, by Oudens Ello Architecture, titled Preliminary Qualitative Evaluation Document. Also on this page are documents related to other major district projects, including the window replacement at the Middle School.
