News for the Week of September 11-15

This week is another busy week:

Monday:  Help us celebrate Patriot's Day at 8:15 am on the yard.   There will be the pledge of allegiance with sign language, national anthem, songs, speeches, and more.   Parents are invited to join.  Once all students enter school and are lined up for the assembly, parents may enter the campus through the two Callicot gates that will be opened at 8:15 am.  This event is for parents only and no younger siblings will be permitted.  Following the event parents will exit out the same Callicot gates.   

5th Grade Parent Meeting:  Please join the 5th grade teachers, Mrs. Kearns, and me for our annual 5th grade parent meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 13th at 6:00 pm via zoom.  We will be discussing the transition to middle school (magnet and resident), planned 5th grade events for the school year, fundraising opportunities, and Pali Camp.  Our amazing 5th parent team has created a page on the POWW website regarding possible events for the school year for your review at https://parentsofwelbyway.com/5th-grade/

Honors Awards Assembly:   We will have our first Honor's Awards Assembly on Friday to congratulate our students for their hard work and stellar citizenship.  Teachers will notify families if their child is receiving an award.  Times are listed below and participating families will enter through the front gate.

Parent Handbook Signatures:  Please do not forget to submit the annual required forms that are found in the LAUSD Parent/Student Handbook - pesticide, photo release, and a few more.  The handbook can also be found at lausd.org.  We almost have 100% submission and thank you to those who have already submitted their forms.  

Lost and Found:  Our lost and found is being to pile up.   Please stop by the lost and found in front of the school to retrieve any lost items.  Also, please be sure that your child's water bottle, lunch box, and jackets are labeled so that we can easily return them to their owners.  Without labels they will be donated.   

Thank you all for your continued support and partnership.  I hope you have a wonderful evening and remainder of the weekend.   This is all for now.

Your Welby Way Principal,

Mrs. DaCorsi
