Principal’s Message

Hello Weller Families!


We would like to thank everyone for a wonderful first week of school. It was a joy to see our students again and they have all transitioned beautifully from their summer break. We look forward to our first full week of school and we will be following our regulary day schedule. ONLY kindergartners will have minimum days next week.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Elzey
If your child tests positive or is experiencing any COVID symptoms, please keep them at home and contact our school office at (408) 635-2876. Vaccination, masking and testing recommendations in combination with frequent symptom-checking and servicing of high quality air ventilation systems remain key mitigation measures in maintaining safe school environments. Thank you for your continued partnership.

BACKPACK DONATIONS 
Weller is fortuante to be partnering with the Family Giving Tree again this year. The Family Giving Tree will be providing Weller Elementary School with backpacks! Each year, the Family Giving Tree tries to provide backpacks filled with age-appropriate school supplies to as many children as possible. If your child would benefit from receiving a backpack with some supplies, please fill out this form: Weller & The Family Giving Tree Backpack Donation Sign-up.

We are limited to 90 backpacks at this time. You will receive a confirmation email from me, notifying you that you are one of the first 90 families to respond. I am picking up all the backpacks on Tuesday, August 16th. We will be distributing the backpacks to students after school on Thursday, August 18th at 2:15pm by the front office.
