Welcome to the 2019-20 School Year!

View from the senior lounge to new courtyard path
Seems like just the other day we were shaking hands with our Schroeder graduates from the great Class of 2019! The dog days of summer are winding down and the increase in foot traffic at Schroeder is a sure sign that the start of school is not too far away. On Thursday, September 5th the school year will officially begin. This newsletter contains useful information as you start to get your high school student ready to come back to Schroeder. It has been a very busy summer planning for the new year, hiring new staff and cleaning up the school to be ready on opening day!
Student schedules are being mailed out by end of this week and will be viewable on the Parent Portal beginning on Monday, August 19th. We have posted the school supply list on the Schroeder website so that families can take advantage of mid-August sales and beat the rush once school starts. There is a link below to access that information.
Schroeder is open over the coming weeks from approximately 7:00 a.m. until 4 p.m. for students to set up their lockers and find their classrooms. I have run into a few returning students and freshman who are finding their way around. With schedules arriving home soon, I am sure we will see many of our students next week. The more students plan ahead, the smoother the first day will go.
Welcome back! It is going to be an outstanding school year!

Student Schedules…
The schedule that you will receive in the mail reflects the requests made throughout the course selection process last year. You will notice that study halls do not have rooms or teachers assigned yet.
On the first day of school, using their Chromebooks or phones (IC App), students will be able to check their official schedule on the Infinite Campus Portal. The updated schedule will have locations and staff for study halls. All Seniors and Juniors with a cumulative GPA of 93 or above, will have unassigned time in their schedules in place of study halls. This privilege allows these student the choice of where and how to spend time within the building. Wandering and switching locations once a choice has been made is not allowed. For juniors, this privilege will be reviewed at 20 weeks and adjusted based on their academic standing.
If you have an issue with your schedule that needs to be addressed immediately, please select the topic: 2019-20 Schedule Issue Report (located in google classroom on the left-hand side) to complete your request. This is the only method you need to use to report your issue. If you have not joined your class’ google classroom, use the class codes below to join.

Lunch accounts
As many of you know, parents can put money on their children’s lunch accounts online. Payments can be made by cash or check (Payable to: Webster Food Service) and should be sent with your child and handed in right at the cash register during lunch. When you need to add money to your child's account we ask that it be made in $5.00 increments. We accept cash at the registers. However, we encourage students to use the prepaid system instead of cash to avoid lost money and allow for faster service.
An on-line prepayment service (www.myschoolbucks.com) also available as a downloadable app, is available for parents to deposit money into their child's account. At no charge parents can view account balances, purchases, and set up low balance alerts sent to an email address.
To use the online pre-payment system, first visit the district Website, http://www.schoolnutritionandfitness.com/index.php?sid=1464121635098&page=prepaidacct
click on Departments.
1. Click on the Lunch Menus quick link.
2. Click on myschoolbucks.com link.
3. You will need your child's name, student id number and our school zip code – 14580.
If you have any questions or need help with the above directions, please contact the Food Service Department at 670-5104. School lunch menus are posted in each school building. In addition, they are published in the Webster Herald, Webster Post and the Webster Pennysaver and can be found on the district website (www.websterschools.org). Menus are automatically sent to individual email addresses by signing up at the bottom of the district web page. E-News.
