Upcoming Community Engagement Survey Available to All
Webster CSD's Board of Education and the district are surveying Webster CSD students, faculty, staff, and the community at large regarding the district’s strategic plan. The online Community Engagement Survey (CES) is currently open and available for completion by COMMUNITY MEMBERS through Thursday, April 11, by clicking HERE. Please note that WCSD staff members and students will complete a different version of this survey in school.
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. Paper surveys will also be available at all 11 school buildings, the Webster Aquatic Center, Webster Recreation Center, Webster Public Library, and Penfield Public Library. If there are community members who would like the CES translated to another language, please email Terrance_McCarthy@webstercsd.org with your name, address, and requested language on or before April 11 and a translated paper survey will be mailed to you.
Thank you in advance for your invaluable feedback regarding Webster CSD and its strategic plan. The strategic planning process began in 2010 and this is the fifth time the CES has been available to the One Webster community for completion. Information gathered from the CES is invaluable as it guides implementation of new district initiatives and is also used to evaluate ongoing district programs that impact our students and families.
For your convenience, the district’s strategic planning team will have a computer station available to all community members who would like to complete the CES during Community Arts Day on Saturday, April 6. Your board will also have a table at Community Arts Day and we look forward to welcoming visitors!
Community Arts Day/Drive 4UR School
As a reminder, Webster Central PTSA’s Community Arts Day is upcoming on Saturday, April 6, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. at Webster Schroeder High School. This annual event showcases our talented students’ artwork and musical performances and the entire One Webster community is invited! Community Arts Day features carnival games, delicious lunch offerings (credit cards accepted), a talent show, and the ever-popular sweet treats sale! The event raises funds for fine arts programs throughout the district.
That’s all inside Community Arts day… outside, be sure to Drive 4UR School in the front parking lot of Webster Schroeder High School. Simply test drive a new Ford (no salespeople and one test drive per family) and Henderson Ford will donate $20 to the Webster Marching Band Boosters, Inc. and Webster’s Class of 2019. New this year, pre-register by emailing Krista_Grose@webstercsd.org. and drive from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. to enjoy Breakfast with the Band before the event opens to the public. Thank you in advance for supporting the arts and our students!
