Daniel Webster Elementary School

The DWS Role Model of the Month is an award that we give to one student at each grade level during our monthly assembly. Teachers and staff select a student who sets an example for their peers and as someone who is dedicated, welcoming, and safe, our DWS Values.

This month we recognized:

Kindergarten - Freddy L

Grade 1 - Mila E

Grade 2 - Jacob M

Grade 3 - Cece W

Grade 5 - Abigail L

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our school and provide the best possible learning environment for your children, we invite you to participate in an important survey. The feedback collected from this survey will be used to set meaningful goals for our school improvement plan and will also be compared to the insights from our previous survey.

Please take a few moments to complete the anonymous survey linked below. The deadline to submit your responses is April 4. Currently we have 77 responses and last time we had 123—let’s keep going!

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for partnering with us in shaping the future of our school. We appreciate your support and look forward to hearing your valuable feedback!

If you have not already done so, please submit your child’s kindergarten registration as soon as possible.

Children entering Kindergarten must be five (5) years old by August 31, 2025.

The DWS cafeteria will start serving ice cream on Wednesday, February 5th. The price is $1.50. If you are planning to have your child purchase ice cream, families can either send check/cash or electronically through myschoolbucks.com.

If you are planning to send check/cash, please send in an envelope with the child's name, teacher's name and how much they have brought it to the main office on Mondays. This will allow sufficient time for us to put the payment into the system making lunch move smoothly.

DWS staff members can award any student with a DWS ALL STAR when they see students being Dedicated, Welcoming, or Safe. All of the DWS ALL STAR awards are put on display in the front lobby. The following students were featured in the morning announcements last week for being DWS ALL STARS!

The DWS PTO

PTBoard is an online platform that we use to communicate school information, events and volunteer opportunities to families. As we move away from sending home paper flyers, this will be the only way to stay up-to-date on school events and place orders for school spiritwear, etc. Accounts are free to set up and in no way commit you to volunteering for the PTO. Please reach out with questions at yourdwspto@gmail.com.
