Hello Weaver Families,
What a great week last week! Thank you to all of our families who were able to make it to our Back To School Night! It is always amazing when you have crammed classrooms filled with parents eager to hear how they can partner with our teachers to make this the #BestYearEver.
I am so excited for this month’s in-class Principal Read-Aloud - The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors! The laughter is wonderful to hear, and I will take just about any excuse to be in our classrooms with our students! I am looking forward to reading to at least 10 more classes this week!
As always, follow the #WeAreWeaver hashtag on Instagram and Twitter, and join me at Weaver Principal on Facebook as I share the incredible stories that make Weaver “A Great Place to Learn!”
Here’s to another amazing week!
Dr. Schmidt

Weaver Color Run Jog-A-Thon
September 25, 2019
The Jog-A-Thon is one of PTA’s 3 main fundraisers this year (PTA Patron Donations, Weaver Carnival, and Jog-A-Thon). PTA supports many amazing programs for Weaver students that are not funded by the school (see reverse for complete list). Did you know, it takes $200 per student to fund all of these programs! Participation in Jog-A-Thon fundraising is optional, but we highly encourage all students to participate to support all of the programs funded by PTA!

Safety is a Top Priority at Weaver!
Student safety is a top priority for all of here at Weaver Elementary School. Please join me in making Weaver safe by following these safety precautions.
- Parking is not permitted along the yellow curb in the roundabout. Busses drop students off at Weaver throughout the day, and parked cars do not allow those busses to get kids home on time.
- Turning left into the roundabout is not permitted between the hours of 7:45 AM – 8:15 AM and 2:25 PM – 2:55 PM. Turning left on Wembley creates a traffic hazard, causing other drivers to approach oncoming traffic to head northbound. Instead of turning left, parents are encouraged to head northbound on Wembley and wait in the drop off line.
- Pick up or drop off is not permitted in the Kids Korner parking lot. This lot is for staff only. Please use the roundabout for pick up and drop off purposes.
- Pick up or drop off is not permitted in the Piedmont Staff Lot. This lot is for staff only. Please use the roundabout for pick up and drop off purposes.
