Principal's Message
Dear Maureen M. Welch Elementary Families,
We are looking forward to an incredible new school year! Our skilled and devoted teachers are busy planning and preparing for your child(ren)!
The custodians have spent the entire summer working hard at thoroughly cleaning our school and Mr. Wayne, our maintenance mechanic, has repaired, replaced and rejuvenated the building.
Our much appreciated PTO is gearing up to welcome families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer exciting events this school year! Through their fundraising efforts, the playground will soon be seeing some changes.
Throughout August, our enthusiastic office team has been registering new families. We warmly welcome our new families and look forward to getting to them.
We are most excited to begin this school year to create a caring and respectful community with common goals of nurturing responsible and caring students and promoting high levels of learning.
Warm regards,
Rebecca Grimm, Principal
