The Waterford Graded School Board is seeking a new Superintendent to replace Edward Brzinski who is retiring at the end of this school year.
School Board members are looking to gather input from both staff and our community in regards to the hiring of a new superintendent. To allow for input and to provide transparency, we will be conducting a meet and greet with the three finalists.
The finalists will be at Trailside Elementary on Tuesday, February 1. Each candidate will rotate between a building tour, community forum hosted by Sloan Allen (Director of Curriculum and Student Growth) and Jane Aegerter (Director of Student and Staff Services), as well as a board interview.
The forums will begin at 5:00 PM at Trailside Elementary School in the cafeteria on Tuesday, February 1. There will be an opportunity for you to write down questions for the staff facilitators to ask each candidate.
The community and staff in attendance will observe and listen to the candidates answers and then complete a form with your feedback for the school board to consider when selecting the final candidate.

Dear 8th Grade Parents;
Waterford Union High School wants to be sure all students are on track for college and career readiness—choosing the right high school courses, working on areas for improvement, and even thinking about your college and career plans. This year, we’ve chosen to administer the PreACT® 8/9 as one of the first actionable steps 8th grade students can take to become ready for the future; both in high school and beyond.
We strongly encourage all 8th grade students to register to take the PreACT 8/9 as this test will be the primary tool WUHS will use to place students in both Advanced and Reinforcement classes for the upcoming school year. Please see the attached parent letter for additional information and benefits of the Pre ACT 8/9. Please use this link to register https://bit.ly/8thGradePreACTRegistration
DATE: December 11, 2021
