Hello Webster Families,
I would like to update you on staffing changes for the 2024-2025 school year at Webster School. We are losing over 150 years of great teaching and support at Webster to retirements. I would like to wish Mrs. Bratz, Mr. Held, Mrs. Iverson, Mrs. Miers, Mrs. Sellnow, and Mrs. Sturdevant happy retirements. They will all be missed at Webster. Mrs. McGorey has been a Reading Corps teacher for the past 4 years and will not be returning. Thank you for all of your tutoring help. Ms. Ganser will be our new guidance counselor. She comes to us from Douglas School in Watertown. Also coming from Douglas is Mrs. Jurczyk who will be our new Title 1 reading support teacher. Miss Peich has decided to move on from Special Education teaching at Webster. We wish her great success in her new endeavors. Ms. Davis will be our new special education teacher, she taught special ed. at Schurz last year. We are still in the process of hiring a 4th and 5th looping teacher to replace Mr. Held for next year. Please help me welcome our new Webster Wildcat staff members! I’m sure they are ready to teach the Wildcat Way! 100% every day.
Please remember to have your Wildcats pick up and read some good books over the summer!!! They have worked hard all year and we do not want their reading levels to drop. Have a FUN and SAFE summer!!
Mr. Clark
We collected 127,897 aluminum cans this year! That amounts to 3,650 POUNDS of aluminum recycled! WOW! We had 136 Wildcats donate cans this year! Every student who participated will receive an Earth Day cookie on Award’s Day.
