Welcome to Welchester Elementary School
Welcome to Welchester! Welchester is one of the best schools in Jefferson County and I am honored to be your principal. The staff is experienced and knowledgeable, the parents and community are extremely supportive, and the students are the best!
We have high expectations for all students in academics, behavior, and respect to others. We offer a variety of academic and social programs for both advanced and struggling learners. Each day, students are engaged in Literacy, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. We strive to teach children to be good citizens by implementing Positive Behavioral and Interventions System (PBIS) by teaching students our expectations for their behavior. Welchester students SOAR- they Strive, Own, Appreciate and Respect. Our goal is to prepare each student to be 100% career and college ready.
Parent participation and input is valued at Welchester Elementary. We have a very active PTA that is involved in many school-wide activities and fundraising. The Welchester PTA/Accountability Committee meets every third Wednesday of the month at 5:00 PM. We also offer Watch DOGS, goodies with special adults, a chili cook off, fall and spring Parent/Teacher Conferences, and a monthly Welchester World Newsletter updating activities at Welchester. The staff is eager to work with parents for the benefit of their students and we are always open to feedback.
This year the District has adopted a safe, secure building. Our doors will be locked at all times. Although the doors will be locked you may gain entry after you ID yourself. We request that you check in with the office or if you are having breakfast with your child, there is a sign in sheet in the cafeteria for your convenience. I know that these are changes from past practices, but the changes are being implemented for the safety of your children and our staff.
I am looking forward to a great year!
Best,
Ms. Bethany Robinson
Principal
