Please be sure to have your child stay after school for their assigned Lego Club days, ONLY if you have already signed up and received communication from Nicole VanZwoll.

If you would like to purchase additional Webberville T-Shirts to support our school, please contact the elementary or high school office.

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.
