March News

Dear Families, Wells Academy is proud and excited about the progress we have made this school year. Our students are making great gains in Reading and Math, and we look forward to the continued progress. As we get through these tough times we would like to extend a big SHOUT OUT to all parents and guardians who are working diligently with their children at home by setting aside a homework time, listening to and making sure their child does homework every night.  Please remember that students will be going outdoors for recess providing the temperatures are reasonable. Students should dress as if they will be going outdoors for recess. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to call me at (740-282-1651).

Safety in the street. The morning “drop off” time before school and afternoon “pick up” times have students and parents negotiating a very busy parking lot. PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY and put the safety of our students first.  The drop off lane right in front of the school is a “hug and go lane”, please stay in your car, give them a hug, send them out to the sidewalk on the right side of your car. Children exiting cars on the left hand side could be stepping out into traffic. If you need to help your child out of the car or they must exit on the left, then you need to park in the lot to ensure everyone’s safety. We need the line to move quickly so parents with other morning commitments can be on time.
