We are looking for 2 more students to join our school council. This advisory committee will meet once a month once all members have been identified. The council will be comprised of the principal, parents of students attending the school, teachers, students, and "other persons drawn from such groups or entities as municipal government, business and labor organizations, institutions of higher education, human service agencies or other interested groups, including those from school-age child care programs". The role of the school council is to assist the principal in adopting educational goals for the school that are consistent with local educational policies and statewide student performance standards, identifying the educational needs of students attending the school, reviewing the annual school building budget, formulating a school improvement plan, and reviewing the student handbook each spring to consider changes in disciplinary policy to take effect for the following school year. The make up of the council encourages diverse perspectives in the formulation of a consensus plan. Please email gnieves@webster-schools.org if you are interested in being elected as a representative of the school council.

Fundraiser:

The Class of 2025 is officially declaring a Coin War! It’s time to get competitive and earn bragging rights for your grade level or staff! How it works:

• Earn points by adding pennies or dollar bills to your grade level or staff water jug.
• Subtract points from others by dropping silver coins (nickels, dimes, quarters) into your opponents’ jugs.

The goal: The water jug with the highest point total wins!
What’s at stake?

• If your grade level wins, you’ll earn exclusive access to the senior section and a special treat!
• If staff wins, they’ll get a dress-down day to celebrate!

Let the battle begin! Get creative, be strategic, and may the best group win! Good luck, everyone!

Scholarship season is here! All active scholarships have been posted on the Guidance Department's Google Classroom for the Class of 2025. As new scholarships come in the list will be updated. Scholarship info can also be found in both Naviance and in the Guidance Office. Please take advantage of these wonderful scholarship opportunities, and if you have any scholarship related questions please ask Mrs. Granger, Scholarship Coordinator, kgranger@webster-schools.org. The list of all active scholarships are listed in the link below.

Families and students have received notices of point deductions due to absences in the quarter 2 report cards. Many email reminders have been sent and many guidance meetings have been scheduled. Please encourage your student to attend the Saturday sessions to earn their points back. One Saturday session can replace up to 3 absences! The last day to make up points lost for Quarter 3 is Saturday, April 5th.

If your student is absent from school, a doctor's note that states, "the parent contacted our office to inform us their child was ill and did not attend school" is not accepted as an excused absences. These notes, however, will be considered when coding your student as "not truant". If a note has more information such as "based on the symptoms the child is presenting, our office has determined that it can be managed at home and should return to school on______", then the note will be reviewed and most likely be accepted as excused. Any further questions regarding doctor notes should be asked of the nurses' office, kpepin@webster-schools.org.

Loss of Points/Credit due to absences -

5-9 unexcused absences from a class will lose 10 points from their grade in that class for that quarter.

Grade/Credit Recovery Process:

Process 1 - Students can recover those lost points in the following quarter, if and only if, they have no more than 2 unexcused absences from that class during that quarter.

Process 2 (if last quarter of the course) - Students can work to recover lost points as soon as they reach their 5th unexcused absence by attending a 1.5 hour administrative detention session (one missed class per session). Students may attend multiple sessions to recover for multiple courses if needed. Students opting for these administrative detention sessions (ADPs) must designate which course they are attending for.

10 or more unexcused absences from a class will result in an automatic attendance failure for the quarter and receive a grade of a 40 (District Minimum Grade).

Grade/Credit Recovery Process:

Students may earn credit back by attending a 1.5 hour administrative detention session (one missed class per session). Students may attend multiple sessions to recover for multiple courses if needed. Students opting for these administrative detention sessions (ADPs) must designate which course they are attending for. They must attend enough ADP sessions to bring absences below 10 at which point the 10 point deduction will be enforced as noted above.

Attendance Matters! Here is a look at this past week's attendance percentage for each day that school was in session!

Monday March 7th - 91.4%

Tuesday 2/25 - 88.9%

Wednesday 2/26 - 89.9%

Thursday 2/27 - 88.2%

Friday 2/28 - 88.9%

Attendance Matters! Daily attendance was a little down this week, but we can do better! See you all tomorrow at 7:30am!

A public school district may excuse up to 7-day sessions or 14-half day sessions in any period of six months.

Based on this law, students may be approved for up to 7 excused absences in a 6 month period. Excused absences are defined as follows: Illness with medical documentation, A medical appointment that must be made during the school day, Observing a recognized religious holiday when the observance is during school, A family emergency, A planned absence for a personal or educational purpose that has been approved by the school, Educational disruption caused by a student's homelessness, unplanned hospitalization, or placement in foster care or a youth development center, Dismissal by the school nurse for illness.

**Note: Vacations will not be considered excused and should be avoided during days school is in session.

Our trading post is now closed due to the upcoming move this April. However, if you are ever in the need of something, clothes or basic supplies, please let a counselor or administrator know.
