Webster CSD Food Service Offers Saturday Meals: Beginning THIS WEEK, Webster CSD Food Service will begin offering a Saturday breakfast and lunch option for all students! Elementary students (grades K-5) will receive an extra meal when leaving school on Friday, January 15, if you have not opted your child(ren) out of the meal service. To sign up for an extra meal for your secondary student (grades 6-12) to pick up either on Thursday, January 14 or Friday, January 15 after school, please email Mark_Balfour@webstercsd.org and include your child(ren)'s name and the name of their middle/high school.     Calendar Calls for 4-day Weeks, Exception Days for Students: All Webster CSD students will have off of school on Monday, January 18 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. ALL Webster CSD students will also have off on Friday, January 29 for a Superintendent’s Conference Day. (The PTSA calendar has this as a day off for high school students only but that is not correct. A schedule change was made after the PTSA calendar went to press.)  Along with the two shortened weeks, Webster CSD students in grades 6-12 ONLY are reminded that they will have Schedule Exception Days on Wednesday, January 20 (B1) and Wednesday, January 27 (A2). On these days students won’t follow the typical mini schedule but will instead follow the schedule for the letter and number in the rotation. That means that on January 20 (B1) will be in-person ...

It provides features such as connections to career clusters and live links to a variety of websites that offer in-depth information on everything from graduation requirements to course selection and program planning. More information will be forthcoming from students’ teachers and school counselors.

Families Reminded of Emergency Remote Day Procedure: At any time this school year, Webster CSD may need to pivot to 100% remote learning for ALL Webster students. This may be due to an increased infection rate, a staffing shortage, inclement weather (what used to be snow days!), or a closure called by the Monroe County Department of Public Health. (Because of this, all students and staff are asked to take their tech devices home daily.) These Emergency Remote Days will be announced in the same way a snow day would have been announced: district website, www.websterschools.org ; social media platforms, Facebook @WebsterCentralSchools and Twitter @WCSDProud/@superwebstercsd; and IC Messenger, the district's online messaging system that has the ability to send emails, phone calls, and texts to students, families, and staff.
