Field Day will be Tuesday, May 28. This year, parent volunteers are needed! Please email Josh Weaver at jweaver@webbervilleschools.org or contact the elementary office if you are able to volunteer that day and help make this annual event happen. You will be shown how to assist, and anyone can help!

Also, don't forget to grab a white t-shirt for your student to turn in to their teacher. All classes will be tie-dying a t-shirt to wear on the day of the event.

Mrs. Elliott's second grade class had a great time at their field trip to Potter Park Zoo on Thursday!

Mrs. Zettel's kindergarten students made cards of appreciation to give to Mr. Kubiak for Principal's Day on May 1st. We are so appreciative of ALL the hard work Mr. Kubiak puts in each and every day for Webberville's students, families, and staff!

If your student will be absent, please call the attendance line to excuse him/her for the day. Our illness policy requires students to be fever-free and free of symptoms (vomiting, rash, etc.) for 24 hours before returning to school.

Since illnesses are easily spread throughout schools and students are required to be out when presenting symptoms, please make every effort to have your child attend regularly and on time to not miss out on important instructional time.

Schools are required by the state of Michigan to record and report attendance issues. Teachers will reach out with any initial concerns over student attendance, followed by documentation from the office. Please contact teachers/the office/administration with any questions or concerns.
