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 9th of August. All required documents can be found on the Welby Way website at https://welbywayces.lausd.org/ under yellow tab labeled "Back to School Central" and then click “Enrollment Paperwork for New and Returning Students” or a paper packet can be picked up in the office. The office is currently open from 7:30 am - 4:030 pm Monday - Friday. Enrollment and paperwork can be dropped off from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm.
Welcome Back Family Social - Friday, August 9th will be our “Welcome Back Family” event. The day will follow accordingly and I hope to see you there.
8:00 – 8:45 am Kinder Orientation in the auditorium
9:00 am - 10:00 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 child’s teacher, families must submit the completed “Return to School” paperwork on or before this day.
8:30 - 9:15 am Magnet Orientation in the auditorium – If you are new to the Magnet or Welby Way, please join us on Thursday, August 8th at 8:30 am in the auditorium to learn about our school and 1st day procedures.
***PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THIS NEW FOOD/LUNCH POLICY FOR ALL STUDENTS***
- An online application must be filled out to begin the process for the 2024 -25 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.
- **Please be sure to bring a hard copy of the application to the office. All new volunteers must also include a copy of the most recent TB test.
- 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.
After School Child Care Programs – Applications for After School Day Care (TK – 1st at a fee)/KYDS (TK – 5th grade no fee)/YS 2nd – 5th no fee) applications are available in the office on a first come first serve basis according to space. Please be sure to submit your application early to ensure your child has a spot in one of the after school programs.
I hope you all have a wonderful remainder of the summer. I truly look forward to seeing you on Friday, August 9th for the Welcome Back to School event and then on the first day of school – Monday, August 12th. It is going to be a productive and positive school year for all. Be well.
Your Welby Way Principal,
Mrs. DaCorsi
