Thank you all for a memorable and positive school year. I hope as we begin summer you are able to rejuvenate and spend quality time with your family and friends.
Office Hours and Dates: We will remain in the office for the remainder of this week June 16 - 20th from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. The office will be closed from June 23rd - July 24th. The office phones and emails will not be answered during that time. After school program (YS, KYDS, and our new pay program PEAK for TK & Kinder students) registration will start Monday, July 28th.
Attendance Counts: I want to remind everyone of the importance of daily attendance. In the classroom is where it is at and your child needs to be there to learn. Students with more than 7 absences per grading period and more than 15 days in a school year are considered chronically absent. Please be sure to review the attached school calendar so you can plan vacations during breaks and not during the school year. I also encourage you to make appointments in the afternoon to avoid loss of instruction. To ensure all students are in school on the first day please remember to mark the following dates on your calendar.
For the 2025 - 26 School Year:
- Wednesday, August 13, 2025 will be our Back to School Social
8:00 am – Kindergarten Orientation
9:00 am – Magnet/New Student Orientation
10:00 – 11:00 am – Meet Greet Event where students meet their new teacher
- Thursday, August 14, 2025 – First Day of Instruction
Cell Phone/Apple Watch Policy: Welby Way will continue to follow the district's policy of no cell phones or apple watches for all students while on campus. This includes before and after school. Students must have their watches in school mode and only use them as a watch and cell phones must be off while on campus. Phones and apple watches will be taken if a student is seen using them on campus and must be picked up by a parent. Thank you for your support with this.
Discipline Policy: In August I will be reviewing the school wide Welby Way Discipline Policy and behavior expectations with everyone to review with your child prior to the first day of school. This will also be presented to all students during a school wide assembly within the first week of school.
I hope you all have a wonderful and safe summer. Thank you again for your partnership, generosity and thoughtfulness at the end of the school year, and the gift of your child at Welby Way.
Your Welby Way Principal,
Mrs. DaCorsi
