Get ready to roar, Roadrunners! School is back, and we're so excited to welcome you all back to our swamp! Thank you to all the parents who showed up for our Meet Your Teacher event today. The ogre-sized fun officially begins tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m.! As you make your way in your carriages through the morning and afternoon drop-off, please remember that many families are just as excited as you are. Be patient with the lines and follow the parking signs and our monitors' instructions. We're all working hard to make sure these first days of school are a fairy tale-worthy experience for our entire Welty family. We'll have regular dismissal at 2:45 p.m. tomorrow, so get ready to start this school year with a "can-do" attitude! Mrs. Silva 💚

A Roaring Adventure Awaits in the Swamp! Hello, amazing swamp-dwellers and brave little heroes! We’re so excited to kick off a brand-new school year filled with magic, laughter, and learning—Shrek-style! Just like Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, and the whole crew, we’re about to set off on a wild and wonderful adventure together. This year, we’ll dive into enchanted tales as reading champions, cast clever spells as writing wizards, and conquer dragons (or numbers!) as math masters. We’ll explore fascinating worlds in science and discover exciting stories from long ago in social studies. Together, we’ll grow, play, and make this the best year yet! We can't wait to welcome each of you into our learning kingdom. Get ready to shine, roar, and show the world all the amazing things you can do! 💚Kindergarten Families: Join us to meet your child’s teachers onTuesday, August 5th from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. 💚1st–5th Grade Families: Come by to meet your teachers on Tuesday, August 5th from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM. We’re thrilled to begin this storybook journey with you. See you very, very soon in the swamp!
