We are beyond excited to announce that WCSD Child Nutrition Director Paula Bailey has been selected for the Chef Ann Foundation’s 2026 Healthy School Food Pathway Fellowship! This program is dedicated to one of her biggest passions: bringing more fresh, scratch-cooked meals to our schools. Over the next 13 months, she will be deepening her knowledge of scratch-cooking, sustainable food systems, and equitable school food reform alongside 22 other changemakers from across the country.
We are honored for her to be part of this important movement, and can’t wait to see her bring these transformative ideas back to Watson Chapel. To learn more about the program and the cohort of Fellows, check out: https://www.chefannfoundation.org/what-we-do/healthy-school-food-pathway/fellowship/
Together, they are working to create a more delicious and nourishing future for our nation’s students. Let’s get cooking!

Watson Chapel School District is conducting a survey to evaluate our community's interest in summer meals. The summer meals would be 5-day meal packs of both breakfast and lunch. There would be no charge for these meals for children 18-years and younger.
Below is a link to the survey. Your response matters as the information we collect will help determine whether the district provides meals during the summer.
The survey is brief and should take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete. Please complete the survey by Tuesday, March 31st.

Calendar Update for Our Community
Due to our district operating on an alternate calendar with additional instructional hours built into the schedule, we will not be required to make up days missed during the recent winter weather event. Our built-in hours provide the flexibility needed to absorb weather-related closures without extending the school year.
📅 The last day of school for students remains May 20.
Thank you for your continued support!
