PLAN FOR RETURN TO IN-PERSON LEARNING: RETURN TO IN-PERSON LEARNING ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 19TH: The district plans to resume in-person learning on Tuesday, January 19th. If you plan to change your child's learning location (from in-person to remote or remote to in-person) it is important for you to contact me by email or phone. Please contact me as soon as you make a decision. If your child has been on full-remote all year and DID NOT attend Watts last year be sure to mention that information. We would like to offer a self-guided tour to students new to Watts- meaning that they were not here for our 5 weeks of In-Person learning AND they did not attend Watts last year.
You can email me at brian.miller@centerville.k12.oh.us or you can call (937) 434-0370.
Thank You!

These are the same schedules we followed when we were in-person at the start of the second quarter in October. We will continue with remote learning on Wednesdays. Additional information regarding the return to in-person learning will be shared later.
