After School Orchestra Class: This Friday following dismissal our After School Orchestra program will begin in the music room. There is still time to sign up if your child is interested. Website information is posted in front of the school and fliers are in the office.
iAttend: The district and I are closely looking at all student attendance to ensure all students are in school each day and on time. At this time if your child has more than 3 absences, they are considered Chronically Absent especially if they continue to have additional absences throughout the school. If your child falls into this category, this week I will be reaching out and visiting the homes of those families. I ask that please do your best to make doctor appointments after school, plan vacations during school breaks (these are considered unexcused absences, work will not be provided, and can impact your child's grades), and work to prepare for school the night before so your child is in school on time. Thank you for your time and efforts with this.
I hope you all continue to have a lovely weekend and evening. I continue to thank you for your support and the gift of your child. This is all for now.
Your Welby Way Principal,
Mrs. DaCorsi
