Welch Elementary School

Our annual International Night has always been a special one, and last night was no different! It was an incredible evening full of fun, food, and games as we learned about the cultures that make our Bulldog family. Thank you to the parents, staff, and all who helped make this night the best ever!

The Coweta Youth Running Club, also known as the Comets, raised $12,000 for two local elementary schools through its inaugural LINC’d Up Turkey Trot held on Thanksgiving Day last year.

The first-year event drew nearly 500 participants and volunteers to Newnan, bringing the community together for a run-walk fundraiser benefiting Welch Elementary School and Newnan Crossing Elementary School. Organizers said favorable weather and strong community support helped make the event a success.

All Coweta Schools Open on Tuesday, January 27

All Coweta schools will be open for normal operations and arrival times on Tuesday, January 27.

While temperatures will fall to cold conditions Tuesday morning, there are no ice hazards anticipated on campuses or major roadways Tuesday morning.

The school system urges students to dress accordingly for cold weather and take other appropriate steps Tuesday morning, and urges parents to assess travel conditions in their neighborhoods.

Thank you and stay safe. We look forward to welcoming students back Tuesday

Due to the likely impacts of this weekend’s winter weather event, all Coweta County Schools will be closed on Monday, January 26.

The National Weather Service currently has Coweta within a Winter Weather Advisory, with impacts to our county likely from precipitation and subfreezing temperatures Sunday into Monday. This produces a likelihood of freezing conditions on roadways and other hazards Monday morning.

Also, in addition to ordering a statewide State of Emergency, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp issued a statement at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday ordering all non-emergency state employees in the north Georgia area to remain at home on Monday. The area for this order includes Coweta and adjacent counties.

Because of this, all Coweta schools will be closed for students and employees on Monday, and all extracurricular activities scheduled for Monday will be cancelled and rescheduled.

We will assess county conditions following Sunday night’s anticipated freeze, and communicate with parents Monday afternoon about resuming normal school operations on Tuesday, January 27.

The Coweta Comets Youth Running Club and Cross Country Team hosted their first Turkey Trot (5K and 1 mile kids run) on Thanksgiving Day. This event brought the community together to raise money for two local elementary schools.
Today, with big hearts and fast feet, the Comets delivered a portion of the funds they raised to Welch! Thank you so much to this team, its leaders, and to all who donated towards this awesome event!

Last Friday, our 3rd graders took an awesome field trip to Fernbank!
