A Monthly Note from Superintendent Scallon
August 30, 2024
Dear Weld RE-4 Families,
The school year is off to a running start! I had the opportunity to ride the bus on the first day of school, as well as make several school visits. You can feel the excitement in the air. I can't wait to see what our students accomplish this year!
This week we celebrated the opening of our new elementary schools, two proud moments for our district. To our voters: thank you for believing in our vision and supporting our students' future. Because of you, we now have the facilities to help our children grow and succeed. I want to extend a special thank you to the staff of these new buildings for their hard work and dedication, which ensured these schools are ready to welcome our students.
Parents: You are an important part of our school community. We want to partner with you in the education of your child. There are two key components to this partnership:
-
Transparent and Consistent Communication — You can expect to receive communication from your teacher, your school, and the district through our messaging platform ParentSquare. Visit this step-by-step help article to adjust your notification preferences.
-
Engagement in With Schools — We want your feedback and for you to be involved! There are many ways that you can help align our work to meet the needs and vision of our community. Explore any of our school or district committees, or consider volunteering your time.
Last, but not least, we know that back-to-school shopping may be a heavy financial lift for families; we're here to help. Fill out our Free & Reduced Meal Application to potentially qualify for reduced fees. I never want finances to stand in the way of a child's involvement in any of our programs or activities.
Thank you for your dedication to our students and schools. I look forward to another wonderful year together.
With Gratitude,
Michelle Scallon Superintendent
