Welcome to John Welsh Elementary School!

Welsh in the News!

Check out the wonderful things that have been happening at Welsh! We are excited to continue to expose our children to meaningful leaders, experiences, and resources. 

John Welsh Vision

We challenge the fundamental notion of education beyond the four walls of our school. We believe that the success of our students is predicated on the cultivation of an equitable and liberated community, and therefore, we strive to do whatever it takes to not only remove barriers and increase access for our children but also enable our community to find their individual and collective voice and power.
 

John Welsh Mission

By working together cooperatively, the staff, students, parents, and community will respect each other and work to their fullest potential to recognize John Welsh students’ special needs and demands.  These include but are not limited to experiencing success, recognition for accomplishments, and feeling supported, accepted, and worthy.  By being committed to this responsibility that we all share, the values of achievement, perseverance, trust, pride, and tolerance for diversity will be prevalent and conducive to a nurturing, social, and learning environment at the John Welsh Elementary School.
 

John Welsh Core Values

  • We do whatever it takes for our children.
  • We believe in and celebrate all of our children.
  • We are constantly learning, growing, and getting better.

Greetings Welsh Families,
 
At Welsh, we prioritize Attendance, Foundational Skills, Pride, and Exposure to accelerate learning and foster student success in a safe, supportive environment. Guided by the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child,” we value your partnership in helping every child thrive. Together, we’re building a school community focused on continual growth, achievement, and excellence. Let’s make 2025 a year of thriving for all. 
 
Yours in partnership,
Principal Green & Assistant Principal Fay
