A Monthly Note from Superintendent Scallon
September 30, 2026
Dear Weld RE-4 Families and Community,
As we settle into the rhythm of the school year, I want to share a few important updates, safety reminders, and reasons to celebrate our incredible students and staff.
September Attendance Awareness Month
September is Attendance Awareness Month, a crucial reminder that showing up matters every single day. Being at school, on time, and ready to learn lays the foundation for academic success, social connection, and personal growth. Thank you for your continued support in helping our students build healthy routines and strong attendance habits.
Looking Ahead to Safety Month in October
With October right around the corner, we are preparing for Safety Month across the district. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. Throughout the coming month, you'll learn more about how we keep our students safe at school. We need your help addressing a growing concern in our community regarding e-bikes. We have recently seen multiple accidents involving students on e-bikes. Please take time to speak with your children about e-bike safety, emphasizing the importance of wearing helmets, obeying traffic laws, riding at safe speeds, and remaining alert.
Community & Parent Involvement
We are deeply grateful for our families and their active involvement in our schools. I am particularly excited about the work ahead with our Family Partnership Council. Engaging our community and elevating parent voices are key to shaping a supportive, thriving educational environment for every student.
Celebrating Academic Achievement & Excellence
Finally, I want to take a moment to celebrate the outstanding work of our students, teachers, and staff reflected in our recent state assessment results and District Performance Framework highlights:
- State Assessment Success: Our district outperformed the state average in students meeting and exceeding expectations on the CMAS assessments, exceeding state performance by 4.3% in English Language Arts, 5.1% in Math, and 9.3% in Science. Additionally, our participation rates in CMAS ELA and Math exceeded the state average.
- PSAT / SAT Growth: Our high school students demonstrated remarkable performance, outperforming state averages in both Reading & Writing (by 7.0%) and Math (by 7.2%).
- District & School Performance Frameworks: We achieved an overall District Performance Framework rating of 65.3%, earning an Accredited status. Furthermore, our Post-Secondary Readiness score rose to 78.5%. We also continue to exceed state expectations with a graduation rate of 95.7% and a dropout rate of just 0.3%.
With Gratitude,
