A Monthly Note from Superintendent Scallon

March 31, 2025

Dear Weld RE-4 Families,

I hope you had a relaxing and connection-filled Spring Break. Quality time spent with family and friends is valuable, and is something I cherish.

As we return from break tomorrow, we'll be in the home stretch. How we finish this school year will define how we start next school year. I want to challenge all of our students and staff to finish the year strong! Here are a few items to help us complete the year on a positive note:

• Parents of Seniors: Check Infinite Campus to ensure your student is on track to graduate, and that they have met all of the requirements needed to ensure participation in the ceremony.

• Assessments: Our annual state assessments begin next week. No one test defines a student. However, they do provide valuable information. These assessments give our team an accurate snapshot to identify what is working well and what are areas of improvement. The valuable information we glean helps inform our instructional practices, curriculum, and, most importantly, support resources for our students. We ask your help in ensuring your child comes to school on assessment days well rested and well fed.

• Parent / Community Engagement: We’re working on improving engagement and connection with our community. We're exploring two key avenues to begin work in this area: 1) reinvigoration of our Parent-Teacher Advisory Committees (PTACs) and 2) a Parent University — an evening of resources for P - 12 parents (i.e., how to help with homework, managing technology, etc.). If you're interested in serving on a focus group for one or both areas please email engage@weldre4.org.

Thank you for all that you do in support of our students! You are a valued partner of our district and are making a difference in the lives of our children.\ With Gratitude,

Michelle Scallon Superintendent
