Watauga Elementary School

Tonight we celebrated Mrs. Hurley and Mrs. Landeros as they say goodbye to Watauga and hello to retirement! Watauga has been so blessed by both ladies! We wish them the best! 🐾 💙

Attention 5th Grade Parents/Families!

Second Graders enjoyed spending time with AHS FFA members at the Food for America event last week. Students learned about local agriculture and enjoyed seeing friendly animals! 🐄🐓💙

FFA members also joined students at WES to teach a fun lesson on sunflowers, as a part of the FFA PALS program last week. 🌽

We are excited to celebrate our totally rad teachers and staff at Watauga next week during Teacher Appreciation Week!
From our classroom teachers, specialists, and instructional aides to our art, music, and PE teachers, counselors, custodians, cafeteria staff, bus drivers and everyone who shows up each day for our students! We are incredibly grateful.
Get ready as we throw it back with a super rad 90s-themed week full of fun, treats, and appreciation!

Happy Principal's Day Mrs. Nunley!

We are blessed at WES to have Mrs. Nunley as our fearless leader! Students light up when they see her enter a room. She encourages and loves students, staff, and parents every day.

Our school is NEVER a boring place to be and we are thankful for the hard work, the support, the laughter, and motivation to be our BEST!

Thank you for being you! You lead, we will follow!

🍎🥗 Happy School Lunch Hero Day

Today we celebrate the incredible school nutrition professionals who keep our students fueled and ready to learn each day. From early mornings to lunchtime smiles, they work hard behind the scenes to prepare meals, ensure food safety, and create welcoming cafeteria environments for all.
