Parent Teacher Corner

Hello Welches Families! We hope you had a wonderful summer! With the return to school just around the corner, we’re excited to get back to what we love most — serving this incredible community. Whether it’s supporting our teachers, enriching our students’ experiences, or coming together as a community, we’re ready for another fantastic year ahead!


Welches is welcoming students back for their first day of school on Tuesday Sept. 3rd. As we kick off the new year, here are a few important dates for our families and community members to keep in mind
Tuesday 9/17: Volunteer Orientation 3:00-4:00 pm
Wednesday 9/18: Volunteer Orientation 8:00-9:00 am
Thursday 9/19: Fall Picture Day


We’re also gearing up for one of our biggest fundraisers of the year — the annual Rainbow Run! This event is a great way to bring our students together, but we need plenty of volunteers to make it a success. If you’re interested in helping out, please complete your volunteer application and attend one of the upcoming volunteer orientations at the school. Since background checks can take time, we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible. For more details and to access the application, scan the QR code following this story or visit https://ws.oregontrailschools.com/. Reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@welchesptco.org with any questions.
The WPTCO is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving and supporting the students of Welches Schools and the greater Welches community.
