Our School

Webster is an AVID elementary. AVID is a college and career readiness program designed to help students develop skills they need to be successful in higher education. Part of this program teaches students organization; therefore, you will see that we are requiring specific supplies for each grade level. 

At Webster Elementary, specific procedures have been established to facilitate a positive experience for visiting members of the community and the staff and students of our school. All visitors must report to the office immediately upon arrival at the school and wear a visitor tag after checking in through our Raptor system. Please be sure to bring a government issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID or military ID in order to gain access to the building. When you arrive, we ask that you ring the bell and hold your identification close to the camera so that a member of the front office staff can verify it before granting access to the building.

• Visitors are permitted to meet with staff in person by appointment only. This includes building administration. 
• Visitors needing to talk with staff, are requested to do so via Remind, phone, or email. 
• If visitors must talk to staff in person, masks are required to enter the building. 
• Photo IDs are still required as well.      *NO EARLY CHECKOUTS AFTER 2:20pm

If a student needs to be checked out during the school day prior to 2:20, please come to the front door. A member of the front office staff will record the student in the sign out log and bring them to the door to meet you. 

CROSSWALK & PARKING LOT GUIDELINES

The staff members of Webster Elementary maintain a strong presence and supervision before and after-school, wearing safety vests and directing crosswalks at neighborhood intersections. With all of our dedication, however, it takes a concerted effort between school and community to keep our students safe. Please support us in keeping safety first by following the guidelines below:

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Please make sure students are sent to school with appropriate outerwear during winter as we will have outdoor recess when weather permits.
