Visual and musical arts experiences are also integrated throughout the subject areas. The physical education program provides unique opportunities for students such as Body Management and noontime physical activity clubs.

Student achievement is monitored through a rigorous assessment process.
Parents are also involved in continuous discussion for change and curriculum renewal through such groups as the Weller Interaction Council and the district Curriculum Advisory Council. Parents utilize the building Parent Resource Library and the well-stocked Instructional Materials Center made available by the staff. In addition, Weller participates in business partnerships with local merchants such as local restaurants, a grocery store, and the YMCA's Camp Kern. A strong professional community is a high priority at Weller. Staff leadership and training is highly valued by all as we seek to grow within our community of learners.
