Dear Families:
We would like to thank University Painters and Bob Shelton for being our incredible business partner this year. University Painters prepared the exterior wall in the courtyard and sealed the mural as well. University Painters are also responsible for outstanding paint job in the staff lounge, in the Assistant Principal's office, and the Dean's office. Bob joined me at the LCPS Business Partners' breakfast this morning at the National Conference Center. Thank you, Bob, for all of your support and hard work.

Mark your calendars for #PurpleUpVA Day which will be held on April 9, 2025. We encourage everyone to wear purple on this special day in support of Wild Cat students that are part of a Military Family.
SOL Testing is just around the corner for third, fourth, and fifth grade students. Please take a moment and mark you calendars so that you are prepared for these important tests. Here is a schedule for you to print and post at home.
We can't believe that the time is nearing when we have to say good-bye to our fifth grade students. In preparation to moving on to sixth grade, Belmont Ridge Middle School has many opportunities for students to become familiar with their new surroundings. "Bridge to the Ridge" is a middle school transition "camp" held on June 23rd and June 24th. It's a two-day program, and families can choose between a morning or afternoon session. Kids learn their way around the middle school, practice opening their lockers, get familiar with scheduling and how middle school life works. This has been a popular program for years and is designed to put kids' minds at ease as they begin their middle school careers. See the flyer attached. (Spanish version) Deadline to enroll is June 14, 2025.
Watch Dog Parents are welcome at Weller! What is this wonderful program you ask? This is an opportunity for parents to become role models for our students. You will have the opportunity to work with classes, students, and your children's classroom throughout the day. You pick the full day or half day to commit your time working with the Wild Cats. Click here to find out more.
It is important that you provide admin two (2) weeks notice so that they can plan for your visit. All requests to be a Watchdog Parent will be confirmed by admin via email.
