New Security Measure
On Monday May 6, the Welches Schools will take a new step to ensure the safety of our children and staff. Our main doors will be locked during school hours. If you are visiting or volunteering at the school, you'll need to ring the doorbell and be met at the door by one of our office staff. Please look for the doorbell to the right of the main doors. Thank you for your patience and support as we work to ensure the safety of our students. |

Mad Science
by Abel Castaneda, 2nd grade
Mad Science is awesome. I think Mad Science is awesome because you get to take home (science projects) and you get to make (science projects) at home. I think more people should join Mad Science. |
