Principal's Message
Dear Maureen M. Welch Elementary Families,
It is hard to believe that school starts this Tuesday, September 3rd at 9:10 AM! The staff at MMW is excited to get started and ready to begin a new school refreshed and rejuvenated! Our teachers attended workshops throughout the summer and during this past week, preparing for student learning and implementing our new mathematics program, Bridges to Mathematics. You will receive more information on Back to School Night regarding math, as we are excited to launch this new program!
Warm regards,
Rebecca Grimm, Principal
