Summer is almost here!
Teachers of the year
Home of
the dolphins!
It’s almost summer. Soon it will be time to
relax, spend time outside, visit friends, and
enjoy your time as a family. But don’t stop
reading. Make it part of your family’s sum-
mer fun. Research shows children lose one to
three months of learning every summer. They
lose math and reading skills they worked
hard to acquire during the school year. Then
they have to work even harder to catch up in
the fall. You can help prevent this summer
learning loss. If your child is longing for ad-
venture this summer, take a trip to the li-
brary. With a little imagination and a li-
brary card, kids can explore new places,
meet new people, and discover new things.
They can borrow as many adventure-filled
books as they choose, for free! Kids can also
participate in the reading clubs, story hours,
puppet shows, and other fun family activities
your library offers during the summer. ~Reading is Fundamental, 2012~

administrative team The final stretch is before us! Your children have grown so much since the beginning of the
school year. They have matured emotionally and academically, as well. We are so proud of all
our Waterstone Dolphins for studying so hard and doing so well on their standardized assess-
ments.
There are only a few weeks of school left, but we would like to remind you that attendance is
still very important. Students are being prepared for promotion to the next grade level, so we ask
that you continue to bring them to school on time and prepared. We wouldn’t want them to miss
out on the fun activities that are being planned. We also ask that the dress code be upheld. Stu-
dents must continue to be in full uniform which includes their Student ID.
On behalf of the CSW Administrative Team; we wish you all a safe, fun-filled summer vaca-
tion!
Congratulations to all our Dolphins on the completion of another successful testing sea-
son. We are very proud of our Dolphins for trying their best on the test. We have sever-
al fun activities planned for our students in the next couple weeks as we close off the
school year. In order to maximize the “FUN” factor we ask that everyone be on their
very best behavior and follow the rules at all times; this includes uniform and special
dress down days. For example, field day will require class shirts and shorts but they
must be Bermuda length shorts. For Kindergarten and 5th grade Graduation, students
will be asked to dress up for the ceremony and asked to wear dressy shoes but the shoes
must we closed toe and closed back. We ask that you please adhere to the rules and read
all communication from your child’s teacher carefully. Get ready… Summer is right
around the corner!
Dear Waterstone Families,
I would like to congratulate all of our students and teachers for successfully conquering
the SAT and FSA exams! Now it is the time of year that we all enjoy…free of testing
and full of engaging learning experiences! We have many exciting end of the year activ-
ities coming up this month so it is very important to keep informed. Please don’t hesi-
tate to contact your child’s teacher or our front office with any questions or concerns.
Please don’t forget to contact your child’s teacher to find out in what ways you can vol-
unteer. The Charter School at Waterstone has a 10 hour per family annual volunteer re-
quirement. Thank you for all of the support and dedication that has been shown to us
this school year. We truly appreciate it and believe that the partnership between the
home and the school is an important bridge for learning.

As the school year winds down, the events start to gear up. We are looking forward to all our end of the year events because these events are a beautiful way to commemorate another successful school year. We kick May off with our high school prom May 5th, quickly followed by our PTSO Bazaar and Garage Sale May 6th. If you are interested in setting up a booth please contact us. We will also have a dance showcase May 24th, where our dance students will be demonstrating everything they’ve learned this year. Our sports awards assembly will be May 25th, and our 8th grade prom will be May 26th. We will be recognizing students at our middle and high school awards assemblies on June 1st. We will be wrapping up the school year with our 8th grade promotion ceremony on June 5th at Life Pointe Church and our Senior graduation on June 6th at FIU. As you can see, it is going to be an eventful end of the year!
To all our Dolphin Moms...
