"PAPERLESS" School!:

For those new to our school, Webster is a "paperless" school, and has been for several years now! Any communications to parents, including our monthly newsletter, are sent via e-mail using 'School Messenger' (with a few exceptions). Teachers are also sent the same communication to keep everyone in the loop! Please keep your e-mail and contact information up-to-date, and help us in our continuous efforts in helping the environment.

Breakfast and lunch served FREE to ALL students!

Due to the increase of classroom interruptions. ALL ITEMS dropped off at the school office for Webster students, will be held in the office to await pick up without a call to disturb the classroom.

If you must drop off any item to your child during the school day, please plan accordingly by making arrangements with your child BEFORE the start of the school day to retrieve the item(s) at their recess or lunch breaks. The office will not be held accountable or responsible for items dropped off and not picked up.

Items include, but are not limited to:
Lunch/snacks, instruments, jackets/sweaters, water bottle, house keys, cell phones, backpacks, projects, permission slips, homework, books, schools supplies, etc.

Please join us in our conversations around empathy and speak to your student about why this scholarly trait is so important.

We have a PBIS committee that has been working behind the scenes to improve the school community for our students. What does PBIS stand for?

Please see our mission statement and guidelines for success below as well as location expectations linked here. We are reteaching expectations for different areas around the school. These will be our expectations again in the fall and will be retaught once more at that time. We are excited to be able to provide this consistency across grade levels for all students as we move forward.
