Hello Maureen M. Welch Families,
Winter has truly arrived! I hope this newsletter finds everyone well! We are doing our best to keep cold and flu germs to a minimum, by encouraging the students to wash their hands, use the hand sanitizer stations in the cafeteria, and sanitizers in the classrooms. Students are asked to cough and sneeze into their elbows. In addiditon, If your child has a fever, he/she needs to be 24 hours free of a fever prior to returning to school.
A gentle reminder to make sure your children are bundled up and prepared to play outdoors during some of our very cold days. The school policy is that the students are indoors if the temperature, including the windchill is below 22*. Between 22* and 25* the students may be be indoors for 15 minutes of recess and then go outside for the remaining 15 minutes. Often the students are restricted to the blacktop of the playground due to snow, ice or rain saturated ground.
With any luck, our snow storms will be at a minimum!
Warm regards,
Rebecca Grimm, Principal
Redistricting affects Maureen M. Welch Elementary School
These affected families have long been members of our school community, serving in many roles through volunteering, contributing to PTO committees and supporting our school in countless ways. As we move forward, plans are underway for transition activities/events to welcome our families to Churchville Elementary School. We will be here to support them as they make this challenging move.
We wish our transitioning families well!

CONGRATULATIONS!
It was an exciting day in the cafeteria today! This past week and a half, each grade level has shown appropriate behavior in the cafeteria. Therefore, they earned free seating! What does this mean? Students had an opportunity to sit with friends in other classes and at tables they typically do not sit at. We are confident that they can continue to follow our C.A.R.E.S. rules and continue to earn free seating on Fridays. WAY to GO!
