first day of school

Waterford USD Community,

As we begin this new school year, we want to take a moment to express our appreciation for the trust you have placed in our educational system. It is our mission to foster a learning environment that instills self-directed and collaborative skills in our students, to prepare them for success in college, career, and the community.

We are deeply committed to making the most of every minute our students spend in school. Each moment in the classroom is an invaluable opportunity to learn, grow, and achieve. Our dedicated staff care deeply about our students and work tirelessly to use every moment as an opportunity to educate and inspire students. They create engaging lessons, provide individualized support, and encourage a love for learning that will last a lifetime. Education, however, is a shared responsibility, and we cannot do it alone.

Your support and involvement in your child’s education are not just welcome—they are essential. One of the most critical aspects of this shared responsibility is ensuring regular attendance. Every moment in school matters, and developing good attendance habits is vital for your child's growth and success. Studies show that students who miss more than ten percent of class time are at risk of falling behind and not achieving academic success. By prioritizing attendance, we can help our students stay on track and make the most of their educational opportunities.

Thank you for your unwavering support and for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to working closely with you to make this school year successful and memorable. 

Sincerely,

Jose M. Aldaco

District Superintendent
