February Kindness at Klem South Challenge
The essential skill for the month of February is COMMUNICATION. This month, we will focus on communicating through words of love, compassion and kindness with a whole-school challenge. Students will track different acts of kindness throughout the month. Our goal is to simply increase our positive interactions with one another at Klem South! At home, you can support this challenge by talking to your children about kindness and compassion. Thanks for all that you do!
We are still collecting shampoos, conditioners, and soaps!

WonderCare Announces Parent Information Nights
WonderCare, Webster CSD's new before and after school program, will host several Parent Information Nights. Interested parents are encouraged to attend:
Monday, February 25 at 7:00 p.m. for Plank Road North and Plank Road South at Plank North
Wednesday, February 27 at 7:00 p.m. at Dewitt Road
Thursday, February 28 at 7:00 p.m. at Klem Road South
Monday, March 4 at 7:00 p.m. at Schlegel Road
Tuesday, March 5 at 7:00 p.m. at Klem Road North

These evenings will be geared for parents only. (Family meet and greet nights will take place in August.) If you cannot attend your home school date, you may attend at another location.
The program has been established in an ongoing effort to ease the transition for families as the district prepares to shift to an earlier start time for elementary schools in fall 2019. New start times for elementary schools will be 7:45 a.m.-2:15 p.m., and 8:45 a.m. - 3:15 p.m. for secondary schools (middle and high schools), with all times plus or minus five minutes.
WonderCare enrollment packets are now available online and at each of our elementary schools’ main offices for interested K-6 families for the.2019-20 school year. Please visit the new WonderCare webpage for more information about the program, including pricing structure and FAQs. Should you have any questions, please contact wondercare@webstercsd.org or call 216-0017. You can also follow WonderCare on its new Facebook page, @wondercarewcsd.
