Superintendent

Weld Re-8 Community,

Thank you for an amazing start to the School Year 2022-2023.  We face many opportunities and challenges in society, and those same opportunities and challenges exist in our Community as we work to best serve our Weld Re-8 students. 

We have faced opportunities around staffing our buildings and District with team members.  This has impacted each of our buildings at the instructor level as we begin the year.  I am proud to say that we have a teacher in every classroom and will continue to provide excellent instruction for each child.  It is a reflection on our Community that people desire to be in Weld Re-8 Schools and desire to be a part of our Team.  Additionally, we have many support personnel on our Weld Re-8 Team from food services to transportation to maintenance to bus drivers to building custodial staff who continue to fulfill the needs of students with care and concern.

We have focused as a District on Best-First Instruction and Relationships.  Under these foci, we continue to place student and staff safety as our number one priority.  Our buildings have recently completed all safety and security protocols with our Police Department to insure we are all working together in these vital areas.  We continue to staff every building with Mental Health Team Members that are available to our kids, and staff members are trained to quickly identify students in need.

Our free lunch program, that was granted to every school district in the United States, ended with the new school year.  We appreciate your patience during the transition back to paid meals.  If you have any questions regarding meals, please contact your school of attendance. 

As we move closer to October Parent-Teacher Conferences, I continue to emphasize the need for involvement in the successful education of our kids.  It is a triangle relationship that requires student, teacher and parent.  I encourage you to reach out to your school and teacher(s) to assist in the process of your child’s education.

Thank you for trusting Weld Re-8 with your most precious gift.
