Annual Elementary Field Day-Volunteers Needed
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!

A Note About Attendance
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.
