I was doing some reading over the break. Did you know that 10 absences for your child can seriously impact their learning? When I read this article, I wondered how this might affect our students. So I looked at our test information. The results were surprising and concerning.

Winter Dress We take the students out for recess each day unless the temperature or wind-chill reach unsafe levels. We use the National Weather Service wind-chill chart to decide. Please make sure your child has appropriate clothing. If your family or a family you know needs help with winter clothing, please contact a counselor or the nurse. Here are some clothing tips:
Trying to help your child with Everyday Math? Frustrated with the directions or the methods? Finding math different than when you were in school? Stop by Webster’s library and ask Mrs. Folden about the Math Resource books. The school has purchased a number of these hard-covered books for most grade levels. You can check one out to help you help your child at home! Early Childhood Screening If you have a child who is between the age of three and a half and five years of age, your child is eligible to go to Early Childhood Screening. Early Childhood Screening is a requirement for kindergarten that really needs to be done before kindergarten. This screening picks up on vision, hearing and learning concerns so they can be taken care of before your child enters kindergarten. Early Childhood Screening helps your child be more successful in school by giving them the support they need to succeed. If you have an eligible child, please contact the school nurse, Terri Lundquist, at 293-8625 ext. 1510. If you leave a voicemail message, please include your name and the name of your child who currently attends Webster. Thank you
