Webber News

Webber Families,

We are getting in the grove of school! If you haven't watched the curriculum night videos please do, there is a lot of great information in them.

It is important for parents to contact the Webber staff when their child is absent. Please email Lyla Dyer at lyla.dyer@lok12.org if your child is going to be absent, you are welcome to cc the classroom teacher as well. Turning in doctor's notes for appointments, will document the absence as excused. Thank you for your help!

All students should bring a healthy snack to school every day. We do have some for students who forget, but funds are limited.

When the Lions win Sunday, we will wear Lions gear on Monday! Go Lions!

Have a great weekend!

Jennifer Goethals

The state of Michigan’s 2023 budget included a return to free meals for all students.

The standards for students to receive the meals for free:

• Every student is entitled to one free breakfast, and one free lunch per school day.
• Students must take a fruit or juice with their breakfast entrée for the meal to qualify as a complete meal and be FREE.
• Students must take a fruit or vegetable (they may take both) with their lunch entrée for the meal to qualify as a complete meal and be FREE.

More information is available at LakeOrionSchools.org/FoodService.

Note: It is important that all families who qualify for free and reduced lunch complete the form within this registration process to receive additional services at reduced cost (pay to participate for athletics, holiday assistance, field trip assistance etc.) The forms are available at https://lakeorion.familyportal.cloud/.

The sale will be open until Friday, September 22nd at midnight, with no late orders being accepted. Families should have received an email from "Fundraiseit", check your junk mail if you don't see it. The online order directions are below. All proceeds will go to support Webber kids and our beautiful environment! Pick up will be on Wednesday, October 11th from 12:30 - 2:30 and 3:30 - 6:00 p.m.

We still need more help!

Lake Orion Community Schools is launching a program in 2023-24 to recognize LOCS staff members for their excellence.

The intent of the Distinguished Dragon program is to ensure that staff members who go above and beyond their regular duties are appreciated. The additional effort or support can range from helping an individual to helping a group or any effort that seems worthy of praise.

The staff member can be nominated by a student, parent, community member or a colleague by completing the form at LakeOrionSchools.org/DistinguishedDragon. We ask for the submitter's name and contact information to follow up with specific questions if necessary. Please make sure to select the appropriate school/department form so the message is routed in the proper direction.

Please complete the form entirely so the individual can be appropriately honored for their contributions.
