Wellwood International March 2020
From the Principal's Desk
The next two months will be busy at Wellwood! Grade 5 students will take MISA on March 23 and April 1. Then, students in grades 3-5 will prepare to take MCAP in April. We ask that you please make every effort to have your child to school on time, especially during testing. Students perform at their best when they are well rested and well nourished.
It is hard to believe we are already approaching the end of the third marking period. Please take the time to review your child’s progress and communicate your concerns with the teacher. There is still time to make up missed work. The third marking period ends on Friday, April 3rd. This is an early dismissal day for BCPS. Wellwood will begin dismissing students at 12:50 PM.

Wellwood International: An IB World School
Recently, we found out that we are officially an IB World School. Check out this link to read the BCPS Press Release. Using the magnet title of "International Studies", we began the process of becoming an International Baccalaureate school four years ago. Our teachers have been working very hard on planning and preparing over those years and their hard work and dedication has paid off!
Thank you for your continued support of Wellwood!

From the Health Suite
We want to continue to reassure students, staff and the community that our standard school procedures to address flu (teaching and reinforcing hand washing and respiratory etiquette, excluding students and staff who are sick with a fever, and daily cleaning) are consistent with CDC recommendations for the response to COVID 19.
Please contact Ms. Seidler with any concerns or questions.
