Superintendent

Education is unique in that we begin a new year every August with new students in our classes and schools.  This opportunity allows us to evaluate our past and plan for the future.  As we welcome back over 2500 individual students, each with their own unique giftedness, I want to thank you for trusting us to take care of your child.  

Weld Re-8 continues to refine our instruction practices across each school to ensure students have the best opportunity to learn to their individual potential.  It is the expectation for our team to address each child where they are in the learning cycle and move them through any barriers that exist.  To that end, I want to personally invite each of you to meet with their teacher to learn how you can assist in the learning process.  Your input into your students' life is a key to successful learning and allows the teacher to address learning styles more easily.

Our District continues to grow with new families entering into Weld Re-8.  As we grow, it is important to maintain the key ingredients that make our community special.  I continue to speak to people about the level of care and support that accompanies our students throughout the District.  We have formed a Long Range Planning Committee to look at creating an updated Strategic Plan for our District that will address learning commitments and building nerds.  We have all the information from that team posted on our website for you to read over.  With that information, our Board of Education voted to place a Bond and Mill Levy Override onto the Ballot for your vote on November 7, 2023.  We will be attaching a quick factual page on Facebook and our website.   This tab is located under the Weld Re-8 tab at the top of the page and drop down menu to the Long Range Planning Committee.

I continue to speak often about the two keys to successful learning: relationships and Best First Instruction.  Our staff across all job families in our District understand the importance of both and are striving to provide the very best experience for your student.  Thank you for your support of our schools and kids!
