Kindergarten enrichment coordinators, Jess Morgan and Mary Ellen Birenbaum, and the parent / guardian volunteers for organizing our in-school enrichment event.

Thank you to the entire PTO Enrichment team!

Wellington School Advisory Council Needs One More Volunteer Representative! We are still looking for one parent/guardian to represent our School Advisory Council. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a light volunteer time commitment with an opportunity to stay informed of pertinent school and budget conversations that directly impact our school community. There will be a public meeting on Thursday, October 26th at 7:50am in the Wellington Conference Room at 121 Orchard Street. See below for more information. If you are interested, email: wellingtonptopresidents@belmontschools.net
Important note to all volunteers: Everyone will receive a CORI form (one per household - feel free to make a copy) in your Communications Folder. If you can support the PTO and would like to volunteer, CORI forms are required for every parent volunteer. You must bring the completed form and a form of ID to the Wellington office to complete the process. CORIs are valid for three years! We highly recommend you get these completed early in the school year.
