Meet Michele Weller, Front Office/ Attendance Secretary at Stephen Decatur Middle
4 years with Worcester County Public Schools
“What I enjoy most is the opportunity to work with such a diverse group of people. Each interaction brings something different, and I value being able to support and connect with everyone in the school community.”
A Proud Moment
The daily opportunity to connect with the students and support everyone in the building. Whether I'm helping a student, assisting staff or working with parents in person or over the phone, I take pride in being someone people can rely on and making a positive impact in the school community.
What People May Not Realize
One thing people might not realize about my job is how much multitasking it involves. Working in the front office means constantly interacting with students, staff, and parents, often all at the same time. We're balancing calls, visitors, and day-to-day needs while making sure everyone feels supported and taken care of.
What She Loves Most About Her School Community
What I love most about our school community is the strong sense of teamwork. Everyone is willing to support one another, and that collaboration creates a positive, welcoming environment for both staff and students.
