Watson Chapel School District
Home of the Wildcats
Planning so many changes to our cafeterias!!! Please keep checking back for more updates.
For our High School, we are starting up our Golden Waffles program on October 26th. Just like when you stay in a hotel, students will get to make their own waffle and top it off with fruit, syrup - and a new berry sauce we are preparing.
But students need to show up early. We know many students will want to do this in the beginning. We have two waffle makers. But we have to shut down the line at 7:50. We don't want students being tardy because they are making waffles.
Paula Bailey (Nutrition Director) will be on hand to help. And we will make some up in advance to help the line move.

Starting 10/21, students at Coleman Elementary and Edgewood Elementary will be able to select from two lunch options. We are going to try it two different ways and see what works best.
Coleman will have a sandwich every day and Edgewood will have some regular menu items each day.

🎬 Watson Chapel Students in the Spotlight!
On October 7, Watson Chapel junior high and high school students participated in a special commercial filming project with Junior Achievement and the Walton Family Foundation!
The project highlighted financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship while giving our Wildcats an exciting opportunity to represent the district.
Making an impact beyond the classroom!
After 45 years in education, with many of those years spent at Coleman Elementary, Mrs. Jones continues to make an impact!
She recently spoke with students about the importance of discipline, listening, and making good choices to help them succeed in the classroom and perform their best on ATLAS assessments.
Mrs. Jones also shared with parents how they can support the school by reinforcing positive habits and expectations at home.
Thank you, Mrs. Jones, for continuing to pour into our students and families!
