Welcome to Wellington Elementary School!
Welcome to Wellington Elementary School! We are happy to have you as part of the Wellington family and look forward to another exciting year of learning.
Wellington is one of only two Jefferson County schools offering the Health and Fitness for Accelerated Learning Program. We provide a holistic approach to learning through academic enrichment, health education, and career exploration, along with athletics and physical fitness. Students develop lifelong healthy habits as they build critical-thinking skills and a solid foundation of knowledge in reading, writing, math, and other basic subjects. Community partners—including the Humana Foundation—support students, their families, and the Wellington community by providing classroom enrichment and after-school programs. Wellington’s Humana Fitness Lab is outfitted with Nintendo Wii, Wii Fit, Playstation GameBike, and Dance, Dance Revolution equipment.
We expect the best from our students, both academically and with regard to their behavior. It is imperative that all students understand and adhere to all school rules. Your support and reinforcement of these guidelines are vital to the success of our program.
It is my goal as principal to try and create a safe, nurturing, challenging, yet fun environment in which students can learn and achieve at high levels. By serving together as partners, we can ensure success for each student here at Wellington. Thank you for your support and we look forward to a wonderful educational experience this year! Should you have any questions regarding information in this handbook, please feel free to call the school office at 485-8343.
Sincerely,
