Wilbur Watts Intermediate School

Today, our school community recognizes Juneteenth. As a place of learning, we honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of the Black community. Today is a beautiful reminder of the power of education, community, and the shared values that bring us all closer together.

Wishing all of our students, families, and staff a happy and meaningful Freedom Day! 🌟❤️

Our 4th grade students enjoyed an exciting visit to the Burlington County Historical Society, where they stepped into the role of archaeology detectives to uncover artifacts and piece together what life was like in Burlington City during the 1700s and 1800s. They also toured the historic Bard-How House, one of the oldest homes in Burlington City and a "please touch" museum that brought local history to life. Throughout the experience, students learned about the culture and history of Burlington City, explored how it connects to the history of New Jersey, and discovered the influential people and events that helped shape our community. It was a memorable experience! 💙

5th grade students had a fantastic field trip to The Franklin Institute, where they learned about the human body in Body Odyssey, challenged themselves in SportsZone, and discovered the wonders of the universe in the space exhibits. The interactive experiences sparked curiosity, excitement, and learning throughout the day! 💙

📢 Reminder: June 23 and June 24 are Early Dismissal Days!

June 24, 2026, is also the last day of school. We wish all of our students and families a safe, fun, and relaxing summer break! ☀️🎉

There has been an incredible extra burst of energy in the hallways lately, and it’s all because our Multilingual Learner (ML) students officially have World Cup fever! To channel that global pride and build community, we celebrated "Kit Day" at WWIS today! For many of our ML students, football is a deep cultural touchstone and a truly universal language. We wore our favorite team jerseys (kits!) and kept the excitement going with an intense round of World Cup Jeopardy Trivia and an epic World Cup Blooket game. Shoutout to our amazing students and staff for sharing their passion and bringing our school community closer together!

Second grade students from the Samuel Smith and Captain James Lawrence schools were given a warm welcome today at the Wilbur Watts Intermediate School. In order to make sure our students feel comfortable moving up to the Watts School, our district plans a morning of activities with third grade teachers and second grade students from both elementary schools. This morning allows our second graders to meet some of their new classmates and see their new school. We are so grateful to the third grade team at Watts for being so welcoming! Thank you for a great morning!

Our 3rd grade students had a wild time exploring the Philadelphia Zoo! 🦒🐘🐧 Students enjoyed seeing amazing animals, learning about wildlife, and creating memories with their classmates. It was a fun-filled day of discovery and adventure!

Yesterday, our 6th grade students visited Burlington City High School to begin preparing for their transition to 7th grade! During their visit, students toured the school, learned about clubs and sports, and had the opportunity to meet students and staff. It was a great experience, and our students had a wonderful time getting a glimpse of what awaits them next year! 🎓💙
