Principal's Message
Good Afternoon Weller Families! 🐎
I hope that you all are enjoying your weekend. We have an exciting week ahead for our students. Please read below to learn all about what's coming up this week. 😁.
WELLER FAMILY HANDBOOK
Our handbook is ready and up to date for the 2025- 2026 school year. Please read through our handbook: 2025- 2026 Weller Family Handbook. Our handbook contains all the important information needed to ensure that we all have a positive and successful school year. There is a Google Form at the end of our handbook that I would like all families to complete, confirming that you have read through our handbook (it is quick and you only need to fill out one form per family). Thank you! |
Weller Spirit Wear
Get yours today! All spirit wear sales help contribute money back to Weller. Students can also wear spirit wear on any day of the week as part of their school uniform. Order forms were available on Back-to-School Night, will be passed out to students this week, and are available in our office. Order forms and money can be turned into classroom teachers, who will then submit them to our office.
Enjoy and thank you for supporting Weller and our PTA!
