We are excited to have our High School and Junior High Football schedules finalized. The schedule is going to look different from past years. When CHSAA announced the new schedules on Tuesday, we learned we would be playing in a different league this year. This change will be for this season only. Scheduling was also a bit tricky when the assigning of officials was thrown in the mix. Because of the referee shortages, we will be playing a Thursday and a Saturday game this year. We have set homecoming week as October 19th-23rd, with Arickaree/Woodlin as our opponent. Details about homecoming week will be released in the coming weeks. Here is the link to the schedule with games time and locations. GO WARRIORS!! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c3qBEueWarYYsGmXaye6W3e4NdMj0u0nHwhcjhPt6X4/edit#gid=0

We have had an ongoing issue with our phone system glitching. Unfortunately, we are unaware of when this happens until someone informs us. If you call in and get a busy signal or if it rings continuously without answer- and you have the capability - please send an email to LStarner@weldonvalley.org to let us know! We apologize for this hiccup and are working diligently with our phone company to resolve this issue.

If you get a chance, ask a 7th grader about cell theory and using objective light microscopes.

Keep up the good work 8th graders!

There will be an informational parent meeting on Wednesday at 6pm at the school, for any high school student interested in learning more about the 2021 International Club trip to Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris.

Good Evening Warrior Nation! We were extremely excited this morning as we heard that we will have an opportunity to play football this Fall. Unfortunately, volleyball will still be held in season C this Spring. This past week has been a whirlwind of information, and there will be more to come. Here is what we do know: 1. Official football practice will begin on Thursday, Sept. 24th. All athletes must have their physicals, all paperwork and fees paid in order to practice. 2. The first game will be the week of October 9th. 3. We cannot post a schedule yet at this time because CHSAA is still working out the details of the scheduling. 4. We are hoping to play the Junior High football season this fall as well. 5. We are looking at competing in a 6 game season with the option of adding a 7th game later in the season While we are excited for the season, we know there is a lot of information yet to come. We will do our best to keep Warrior Nation updated as we learn of things yet to come. As soon as we have a schedule completed, we will communicate that with everyone. Here is the link to the article from CHSAA today. https://chsaanow.com/2020-09-17/details-on-the-footballs-plan-for-season-a-and-season-c/

Another reminder to parents, please remind your child to bring their masks to school and their laptops charged, daily We hope that everyone has a fantastic Labor Day and a great week. Go Warriors!

Recent federal law to support COVID-19 relief created the Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program as an important nutritional resource to families who lost access to free or reduced-price school meals as schools across Colorado closed in response to COVID-19. P-EBT provides households with an EBT card funded with the value of the free school breakfast and lunch reimbursement rates for the days that schools have been closed in March, April, and May, which equals $5.70 per day. Those funds can then be spent on eligible food items at many local and online retail stores. For a list of eligible items, visit the USDA Food and Nutrition Service website. https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligible-food-items Families may apply for P-EBT cards online at https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdhs/p-ebt

Hello Warrior Family, this message is for the week of August 17th. With school starting Tuesday, August 18th we want everyone to be aware of a few changes. If you plan drop off your kindergarten through 12th grade student at school, you will need to use the new drop off area located in the bus lane in front of the elementary school. The student drop off area is clearly marked and two cars are allowed to drop students off at a time. Please do not let your student out of the car until you reach the drop off area. You will be greeted by a staff member who will quickly take the temperature using a touchless, infrared thermometer. The temperature must be below 100.4 degree F in order to be allowed to enter the building. You will be required to take your child home if they are running a fever. Our expectation for the first day is when students enter the building after their temperatures are taken, they must either go to the cafeteria for breakfast, to their homeroom, or 1st period class. Masks are required for all student’s 5th grade through 12th grade. Masks are recommended for all student’s, Pre-k through 4th. Please remember to bring your masks on Tuesday. Please do not bring your child early to school. We are not allowing students into the building until temperatures are taken and staff will start taking temperatures at 7:20 AM. Secondary students, please remember to bring your laptops. We know that the start of this school year is going to start a little different than normal but are extremely excited to have students back in our building. We have been working hard to provide an educational experience that will still be safe with high academic expectations. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Our expectation is always for this to be the best year ever no matter what is thrown our way! Have a great week and GO WARRIORS!

As a reminder, there will be NO open house at Weldon Valley School Monday evening.
