Good evening Welby Way families,
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend as we head into our last week of school before Spring Break. Please note that this will be a four-day week, as there is no school on Friday due to an unassigned day.
Tomorrow morning, we will hold our weekly Monday Morning Assembly, where two students from Mrs. Selman’s and Ms. Baca’s classes will present in recognition of Women’s History Month. As always, families are welcome to join us.
Fitness Week – THANK YOU!
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible Fitness Week team—Jasmine D., Yomara McGrew, POWW, and the many parent volunteers who helped organize and support such a successful week. From morning workouts and family hikes to the fun lunchtime activities, it was truly a wonderful way to stay active and build community.
Thanks to your generosity, we have raised $25,080 toward our goal of $30,000 to support our P.E. program for the upcoming school year. There is still time to donate. An additional $5 per family will help us exceed our goal—thank you for your continued support!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to our Region North Math Field Day teams, who both earned 1st place on Saturday against schools from across the Valley—what an incredible accomplishment!
We also celebrate our Spelling Bee Champion, Aarav Parashar, who placed 5th in the LA County Spelling Bee this week. Competing against 30 students in grades 5–8, Aarav was just one spot away from advancing to the state competition. We are so proud of his hard work and determination!
School Experience Survey – Last Week to Complete!
If you have not already done so, please take a moment to complete the Annual School Experience Survey. Your participation helps your child’s class reach 100% completion, earning a free recess, and allows your child to participate in the popsicle party.
We are currently at 80% parent participation so close to 100% participation—thank you for your time and input!
Please complete the Parent Survey here: https://ses.lausd.org
After completing the survey, please:
Send a screenshot of the completion confirmation to your child’s classroom teacher or the office.
