Waterford High School is proud to present this year's musical, Carousel.
Unfortunately this year, we cannot bring our grade 6-8 students up to the high school for a day time performance, so we are sending out this special invitation to attend a "feeder school performance" on Wednesday, March 10 at 7:00 p.m.
You can get up to two complimentary (free!) tickets to the performance by emailing kbrown@waterford.k12.wi.us for a code and going to wuhspac.ludus.com!
Please know we are limited to only 150 people in person, so please only request the number of tickets you intend to use. All social distancing protocols will be employed. At this time, we are requesting that only grade 6-8 students attend - no extra family members (unless needed for special needs requests).
If you wish to see the full performance, tickets are available at the same website. We will be streaming the Friday night show.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at dmachan@waterforduhs.k12.wi.us

With the inclement weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning, WGSD, as well as Waterford Union High School and the other feeder schools, is planning a virtual instruction day for Tuesday, January 26. The purpose of being virtual for this day is to maintain instructional time in a year where our minutes have already been limited due to the completion of our Fox River construction project and pandemic issues. Students will bring all necessary materials home today. All classes will be following their virtual schedules for the day. Your child’s teacher will be communicating through the virtual hub.
