Doing your best to be the best!

Welcome to Mary Welty Elementary School, home of the Roadrunners, where our motto is “Doing Your Best Every Day!” We are located about an hour south of Tucson in the beautiful mountains of southern Arizona in Nogales, just north of the Mexico border. Our highly qualified teachers and caring staff work hand-in-hand with the supportive families in our surrounding community. We serve our kindergarten through fifth grade students with pride.

Dear Parents and/or Guardians,

The faculty and staff at Mary L. Welty Elementary School have been working with our students for the last twelve weeks of the school year. We have been busy preparing for our December benchmark exams which include: Galileo and Dibels.

It is important to remember that our students need to be at school, on time, everyday! 

General Guidelines: 

• All students are required to wear their school uniforms on the first day of school. 
• Students are required to be on time! Student attendance is crucial to student achievement. Classes begin promptly at 7:45a.m. 
• We continue to serve free breakfast and lunch. We serve breakfast in the cafeteria on Monday and Fridays from 7:00-7:30 a.m. We serve breakfast in the classroom on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 7:30- 7:45a.m.
• We expect all students to be respectful and follow all Nogales Unified School District and Mary L. Welty rules and procedures. 
• We do not allow iPods, MP3 players, Game Boys, cell phones, iPads, or other electronic devices on campus. 
• We do not allow fighting or bullying on campus. The NUSD #1 guideline will be followed including a report the law enforcement. We will provide a copy of the district’s Discipline Matrix to each student/parent. 
• If your child is riding the bus, contact Citizens Auto Stage at (520) 281-0400 ext. 4138 for a schedule or questions. In order for your child to ride the bus, we will screen your address to determine if the child is eligible for transportation. Transportation by bus will only be provided to student’s whose home addresses are in the Mary L. Welty zone. Students under open enrollment are not eligible for bus service.
