WELCH students will need to be picked up promptly.  We are sharing our building with Allen Frear Elementary School this year. Therefore,  the grounds should be cleared for the arrival of their busses and their students' dismissal time, which is shortly after ours. 

We thank you in advance for your cooperation ...

Daily School Procedures

**Special Notice to Parents - If your child is late to school, please come in and sign your child in at the main office.  This is a district-wide procedure and also a safety issue.

If your child is absent or tardy, it is mandatory to provide a written excuse.  The office will keep the excuses on file and annotates whether or not the absence is excused.

 

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of the children, parents and community that we serve by:

-providing an enriching and nurturing environment in which all children feel safe, lovable, and capable;

-providing experiences that address individual abilities, learning styles, and emotional needs; and encourage children to treat others with respect and kindness.

 

 

NOTE: Refresh the page each time you visit our web site to see updates. 

Every effort has been made to link to safe web sites for children, but we do advise adult guidance when children leave our Welch site. These links will take you away from our site.
