Wildcat Den

Wildcat Families,

We had such a great week at Webster. Today we honored our Weekly Webster Winners for demonstrating outstanding Wildcat behavior, celebrated our Character Champions from October AND had our PBIS Root Beer Float Class Celebrations. It is great to be a Wildcat!

Webster Family Survey – We Want to Hear From You!

We are always looking for ways to grow, improve, and better support our students at Webster.

Your feedback is an important part of that process!

We ask all families to take a few minutes to complete our Family Survey using the link below. The survey consists of just a few multiple-choice questions about your child's experience at Webster and takes less than 3 minutes to complete!

Hearing from our families helps us celebrate what is going well and identify areas where we can continue to improve. We truly value your input and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

Cell Phones and Smart Watches: If a student brings a cell phone to school, it should be in their backpack in their locker and turned off. Students should not be using their cell phones during the school day. If a student wears a smartwatch, it should not be used to contact home. If a student needs to contact home, they let their teacher know so we can send them to the office to make the call

* Please DO NOT let students out of cars until you see adult STAFF at the crosswalks.

You can enter the lot in the left lane, park, and pick up your child outside of the school. Please use one of the crosswalks in both directions.

There is a slight overlap in the ACAT and RISE pickup times. Please be mindful of this and be patient with each other. Thank you for modeling kindness for our Wildcats!

As you may know, LPS implemented a new mobile app called Stopfinder and a new routing and management system called Transfinder in the spring. Families who are eligible for transportation, based on your home address, should have received an invitation email from “Transfinder,” with instructions on loading the Stopfinder app.

This email contains a form that is tailored to your individual student. If you have more than one student who receives bus service, you will receive a separate email for each student – PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM CONTAINED IN EACH EMAIL RECEIVED. Some have had trouble filling this out on a cell phone – please use a computer or tablet. If you do not have access to a computer or tablet, please email lpsbus@livoniapublicschools.org.

If you have not received the email, and your household qualifies for bus service, please check with any other parent/guardian associated with your student(s). The emails are auto-sent to the first parent/guardian contact in our Student Information System. Associated parents/guardians may “share” student information with one another for full access to the features in the app. Please also check your spam and/or promotions folders in your email account for this message from “Transfinder.”

If you have not downloaded the mobile app called Stopfinder, please locate the invitation email in your inbox or spam folder for instructions. This will make finding your child's bus information faster and easier prior to the start of the school year.

IMPORTANT: Bus registration will ONLY be completed through Transfinder, as the Parent Connect option for bus registration is now disabled.

If you have any questions, and you’ve done some of the trouble-shooting, please contact the Transportation Department at lpsbus@livoniapublicschools.org.

As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, please be reminded that a valid physical photo ID (such as a driver’s license or state ID) is required for anyone picking up a student. Starting immediately, our staff will be strictly enforcing this verification process every single time a student is signed out, without exception. Even if our team recognizes you, this uniform safety measure ensures we maintain the highest level of security for all children in our care. We kindly ask that you have your ID ready upon arrival to help keep the dismissal process moving smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in keeping our school community safe!

NO FOOD DELIVERY SERVICES
Students are not permitted receive food from DoorDash, GrubHub or any other food delivery services at school.

CELL PHONES/SMART WATCHES
Livonia Public Schools has a policy that all phones and smart watches have to be off and in your child's backpack during the school day. This policy helps with keeping our Wildcats engaged in their learning. If a student has their phone or smartwatch on them, it will be taken to the front office, and the student may retrieve it at the end of the school day. If there is a second occurrence, the student's phone will be taken to the front office, and a parent/guardian will need to come to collect the phone form the office. Should another occurrence occur, the administrator will issue any disciplinary actions and put the student on an individualized plan in order to maintain school and district policy.

CLICK HERE for cell phone policy info.

WATER BOTTLES

Please make sure your student brings a re-fillable water bottle to school each day (our bottle filling stations are open).

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL

A student cannot be in possession of, or take prescription drugs or non-prescription medication, such as Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Tums etc. at school or during school.

If it is necessary for a student to take medication during the school day (prescription or non-prescription), a Medication Authorization form must be completed and signed by both the doctor and the parent. All medication will be kept in the Main Office for the student’s use and dispensed by office staff.
