I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and remembered to change your clocks for day light savings last night as we fell back an hour. I also want to congratulate our incredible CATS cast and crew along all the parents who helped support the success of the production. The students did an amazing job with their dancing, singing, and performing. I was truly beyond impressed and so proud of all of them and thank you to FocusFish for the guidance.

Shelter in Place Drill: This Wednesday in the morning, we will have our fall Shelter in Place Drill. This drill helps our school practice the emergency procedures in case there is an unsafe occurrence of air quality in the area. This is not a lock down drill though all students are to remain safe within the classroom with doors and windows closed and turn off all ventilation systems. Our office will be closed during the period of the drill.
Coffee with the Principal: Please join me on Tuesday at 8:30 am in room 40 for our next Coffee with the Principal to discuss Substance Use Awareness/Fentanyl. Though our students are only in elementary school, the awareness and knowledge is powerful for all parents. All participating parents can check in the main office.
School Tours & eChoices Application: We will have our last fall semester school tour this Friday at 8:30am for any incoming families who may be interested in learning about Welby Way or applying.
Also, the CHOICES application period is still open - Nov 15th for the next school year. If we are not your school of residence and you will have incoming students next school year, please make sure you apply for the lottery using the emailed link.
