Principal Weekly Update
April 4-8
From the Principal
Dear Welchester Community,
We made it through our first CMAS units! Our kids did a great job on their ELA test! We saw a lot of focus, perseverance and growth mindset.
World's Finest Chocolate orders will be ready for pick up after school on Tuesday, April 6th. If possible, please plan to pick up orders. In the past, our experience has been that sending it with kids, it doesn't always all make it home :)
The test schedule is available on our school website: https://welchester.jeffcopublicschools.org/
Testing will be Tuesday-Thursday from 8:15 AM-12PM. Please work to ensure your child arrives to school on time during this period. Students who arrive to school after testing begins may need to do make up testing if testing has already begun. This is to ensure a quiet, standardized testing environment. Additionally, we have tried to schedule testing at times to minimally interfere with our regular daily schedule. Please make note of your child’s testing times and please try not to schedule appointments for your child during this time.
Please take an opportunity to speak to your child about the test experience. It is important that children approach the test with seriousness and confidence. We count on your support in the following ways:
Please help alleviate any anxieties your child may have about the testing and encourage them to take the test seriously and to put in their best effort.
Please ensure your child eats a wholesome, nutritious breakfast each day.
Please ensure your child is rested and ready to do his/her best work.
If you have any questions about testing, please feel free to call or email your child's teacher.

Upcoming Dates:
April 6- PTA Meeting, 5:30
April 21- Multicultural Night
