COVID Updates: Parents please remember if your child tests positive to email both Mrs. DaCorsi and your classroom teacher. This assists us in ensuring your child follows the safe return to school timeline and all close contacts are quickly identified for their well being.
This week we had 2 positive COVID cases on campus and all close contacts have been notified and antigen tests were sent home on Friday to be administered this weekend prior to returning on Monday. Lastly, the district will be requiring all students and staff to complete an antigen test prior to returning from the one week Thanksgiving break. At home test kits will be sent home the week prior to the one week break for all students.

Magnet and Affiliated Charter Application: The window continues to be open for eChoices for charter and magnet applications through Friday, Nov. 18th. If your child's teacher feels that your child would benefit from enrolling in the Welby Way High Achievement/Gifted Magnet, now is the time to apply. This also applies to all 5th grade families that would like to apply to a magnet for your child's middle school experience or attend Hale and it is not your home school. Also, if your child attends Welby Way as a charter student and you have a younger sibling who you would like to attend in the fall, you must apply to the charter for Fall 2023 in order to receive sibling preference. Feel free to contact the office, Mrs. Kearns, or me if you have any questions.
