Good morning Welby Way families,
I hope you are all having a lovely summer and enjoying time as a family. I look forward to seeing everyone back soon as we are about to have an amazing school year together.
Here are some updates for the start of the school year:
Beginning of the School Year Paperwork
This school year the office will be accepting the Return to School Packet prior to the Welcome Back to School event on the 11th. ALL FORMS CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE or a paper packet can be picked up in the office. The office is currently open from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm Monday - Friday.
Welcome Back Family Social
Friday, August 11th will be our “Welcome Back Family” event. The day will follow accordingly and I hope to see you there.
- 8:30 - 9:15 am Kinder Orientation in the auditorium
- 9:30 - 10:15 am Magnet Orientation in the auditorium
- 11:00 am - 12:00 pm "Find Out and Meet Your Teacher"
**POWW will have food, Welby spirit wear for sale, and opportunities for you to donate to the Annual Giving Fund to help support the many enrichment programs for our students. To receive your child's classroom assignment and have the opportunity to possibly meet your teacher, families must submit the completed “Return to School” paperwork on or before this day.
To best prepare your child for the start of the school year, grade level supply lists and procedures are provided on our Welby Way website per grade level.
School Volunteers
An online application must be filled out to begin the process for the 2023 -24 school year - You can access this via online at volunteerapp.lausd.net. Everyone, even if previously processed last year or the year before must complete a new application each school year. All parents walking onto campus to volunteer, attend a school sponsored event, or attend a field trip must be processed for this school year. The one day volunteer pass is not an option and is no longer available.
We are encouraging all parents who intend to come on campus at any point during the new school year to get processed early in the year. Processing can take 30+ days, so getting processed with the intent to go on a field trip a week later will not be an option. Volunteering is also at the discretion of your child's teacher. You should coordinate with your teacher and or your room parent in the fall to find out what is needed and plan accordingly. Unless you have prearranged to be on campus for a classroom activity or some other prescheduled event for your child's class, you will not be allowed on campus to volunteer unless processed. Please note if you are a district employee you still need to be processed. If you have other students at other schools in LAUSD you must be processed at each school site.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to Laura Klein - Community Representative [email protected]. Please see the information below for step by step directions for how to become a volunteer.
Student Summer Enrichment Workbooks
1st - 5th grade families, if you did not pick up your summer enrichment book for your child and are still interested, there are still a few available in the main office. Please feel free to come to the office to pick up a workbook.
I hope you all have a wonderful remainder of the summer. I truly look forward to seeing you on Friday, August 11th for the Welcome Back to School event and then on the first day of school – Monday, August 14th. Be well.
Your Welby Way Principal,
Mrs. DaCorsi
