A Monthly Note from Superintendent Scallon
October 30, 2026
Dear Weld RE-4 Families and Community,
Fall is in the air across our district, bringing cooler mornings, vibrant autumn colors, and an undeniable energy to our classrooms. October is always an exciting time of year as our students and staff settle into the rhythm of deep learning.
Proof is in the Pudding
Across our schools, the outstanding accomplishments of our students and staff clearly show our collective hard work and dedication. From academic achievements and impressive National FFA competitions to inspiring performances in the arts and on the athletic field, our community’s commitment to excellence is showing real, meaningful results. I am proud of what our students achieve when passionate educators and involved families support them.
Understanding the Science of Learning
You may have heard us reference the "Science of Learning" recently, and I want to share what this means for our district. The Science of Learning brings together research from cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and education to understand how the human brain actually processes, retains, and retrieves information. By grounding our instructional strategies in this research, our teachers can design lessons that maximize student engagement, deepen conceptual understanding, and foster long-term retention. This means moving beyond simple memorization to ensure every child builds a strong, lasting foundation for future success. As part of our Strategic Plan, we are focusing our high-impact instructional practices to align directly with this approach.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Thank you to everyone who attended our recent Parent-Teacher Conferences. Strong partnerships between home and school are essential for student success, and your active participation, thoughtful questions, and collaboration mean the world to our educators. Working together, we can ensure every student receives the support and encouragement they need to thrive.
Bond 2022 & Facilities Update
Finally, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your ongoing support of our facility improvement efforts and the 2022 Bond. Thanks to your investment in our schools, the remaining construction projects continue to make steady progress. In late September and early October, we held ribbon cuttings for the Windsor High press box and greenhouse projects, both student-led initiatives. Modernization work at Windsor Middle School continues to move forward, and we look forward to hosting an open house in the new year once the work is complete.
Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to our students and schools.
With Gratitude,
Superintendent
