Wells Elementary School

A huge thank you to Mike from Living Lands & Waters for teaching some of our 4th graders the importance of taking care of our rivers! The story of Chad Pregracke's mission to clean up the Mississippi is always a good lesson about how one person's passion can make a big difference. Thanks to Chad, Mike and the whole awesome crew for all the work they do.

Good morning, East Moline School District Families. Due to the inclement weather, today will be an E-Learning Day in the East Moline School District. If your child is an in-person Tuesday/Thursday student, they need to log on for Google Meets today according to their schedule for remote learning. All other students should complete their normal remote learning work for the day. Thank you for your understanding as we keep our students and employees safe. Have a great day of E-Learning.

There will be no evening meal pick-up on Monday, January 25th.

Good morning! We are having a technical problem this morning that does not allow 4th graders to log on to their school Google accounts/Chromebooks. We will send an updated message when this is corrected. Until then, 4th graders who are learning at home today will not be able to access their school accounts and will not be marked tardy or absent for online work.

Happy Friday, Wells Families! Yesterday and today, your child brought home a snowflake from school. If your child is a remote only learner, there was a snowflake in your child’s third quarter supply bag. If you have not picked up your child’s third quarter materials, they may be picked up at the school. This snowflake was a celebration of your child’s hard work for the second quarter. At Wells, we are proud of the hard work and perseverance all of our students put into their learning. Way to go!!! Our PBIS team has a goal for our students. Our goal is to get less than 10 referrals total during the third quarter at Wells Elementary School. We can do this by being respectful, being responsible, and by being safe. We know we can do it, and we believe in you. Have an amazing weekend. Remember, there is no school on Monday, January 18th. ¡Feliz viernes, familias de Wells! Ayer y hoy, su hijo trajo a casa un copo de nieve de la escuela. Si su hijo es un aprendiz solo remoto, había un copo de nieve en la bolsa de suministros del tercer trimestre de su hijo. Si no ha recogido los materiales del tercer trimestre de su hijo, pueden recogerlos en la escuela. Este copo de nieve fue una celebración del arduo trabajo de su hijo durante el segundo trimestre. En Wells, estamos orgullosos del arduo trabajo y la perseverancia que todos nuestros estudiantes ponen en su aprendizaje. ¡¡¡Camino a seguir!!! Nuestro equipo de PBIS tiene una meta para nuestros estudiantes. Nuestro objetivo es obtener menos de 10 referencias en total durante el tercer trimestre en la Escuela Primaria Wells. ¡Podemos hacer esto siendo respetuosos, responsables y seguros! Sabemos que podemos hacerlo y creemos en ti. Que tengas un fin de semana increíble. Recuerde, no hay clases el lunes 18 de enero. Bon vendredi, Famille Wells! Hier et aujourd'hui, votre enfant a ramené à la maison un flocon de neige de l'école. Si votre enfant apprend seulement à distance, il y avait un flocon de neige dans le sac de fournitures du troisième trimestre de votre enfant. Si vous n'avez pas récupéré les documents du troisième trimestre de votre enfant, ils peuvent être récupérés à l'école. Ce flocon de neige était une célébration du travail acharné de votre enfant pour le deuxième trimestre. À Wells, nous sommes fiers du travail acharné et de la persévérance que tous nos étudiants mettent dans leur apprentissage. Marche à suivre!!! Notre équipe PBIS a un objectif pour nos étudiants. Notre objectif est d'obtenir moins de 10 références au total au cours du troisième trimestre à la Wells Elementary School. Nous pouvons le faire en étant respectueux, responsables et en sécurité! Nous savons que nous pouvons le faire et nous croyons en vous. Passez un week-end incroyable. N'oubliez pas qu'il n'y a pas d'école le lundi 18 janvier. جمعة سعيدة ، عائلات ويلز! بالأمس واليوم ، أحضر طفلك ندفة الثلج من المدرسة إلى المنزل. إذا كان طفلك متعلمًا عن بُعد فقط ، فقد كانت هناك ندفة ثلجية في حقيبة إمداد الربع الثالث لطفلك. إذا لم تكن قد التقطت مواد الربع الثالث لطفلك ، فقد يتم استلامها من المدرسة. كانت ندفة الثلج هذه احتفالًا بالعمل الشاق لطفلك في الربع الثاني. في ويلز ، نحن فخورون بالعمل الجاد والمثابرة التي بذلها جميع طلابنا في تعلمهم. أحسنت !!! فريق PBIS لدينا لديه هدف لطلابنا. هدفنا هو الحصول على أقل من 10 إحالات خلال الربع الثالث في مدرسة ويلز الابتدائية. يمكننا القيام بذلك من خلال التحلي بالاحترام والمسؤولية والأمان! نحن نعلم أنه يمكننا القيام بذلك ، ونحن نؤمن بك. أتمنى لك عطلة نهاية أسبوع رائعة. تذكر ، لا توجد مدرسة يوم الاثنين 18 يناير.

There will be NO SCHOOL for EMSD on Monday, January 18th in observance of Martin Luther King Jr Day.

3rd Quarter Remote Learners have material pick up tonight at Wells now until 6pm.

Hello Wells Kindergarten through 4th grade families. We will return to our in person blended learning this week. This week is our last week for the second quarter. If your student was attending in person on Tuesdays and Thursdays before we went full remote, we will see them Tuesday, January 12th. If your student was attending in person on Wednesdays and Fridays, we will see them on January 13th. One other important reminder is that the third quarter will begin January 19th. If you contacted the school to change how your child will attend school, these changes will begin the week of January 19th. Remember, to follow the health and safety guidelines please certify your student each day by checking their temperature and answering the questions on the golden ticket. Students need to have the golden ticket when they arrive daily with a parent signature. We look forward to seeing students back in the building.

This week featured in the Wildcat Spotlight is Mrs. West. Mrs. West is our social worker at Wells Elementary School. Mrs. West serves our families with her entire heart. She goes out of her way to ensure our students and their families have what they need to be successful. Mrs. West, we thank you for your service. We are proud to have you on our team. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to our students. Read below to learn a little bit about Mrs. West. What is your favorite thing about Wells? I love the population that attends Wells. The richness of different cultures, faiths, languages mixed with the courage/strength to leave all that is known to move to a new country/place that is often completely different from the place you might have known your whole life. I love people who do the best they can frequently with little resources. I love the kids who teach me every day which keeps my mind and heart open and flexible. The energy that feeds me are all people. What is your favorite children’s book? Make Way for Ducklings was a long time favorite until I discovered The Proudest Blue by Ibtihaj Muhammad. What do you do to relax? I watch too many crime shows, play the piano, try to teach myself different instruments (i.e. cello, guitar, and different recorders). I like to read, garden, bicycle, and learn. I used to run.

Our 3rd quarter remote learner material pick will be Monday, January 11th 8-3pm at Wells and January 12th 4-6pm at Wells. This is only for students that are remote for the 3rd quarter.
