Principal's Message
I sincerely hope that you were able to have a wonderful two weeks to spend with your family. We are ready to welcome students back with important safety protocols in place.
The Omicron COVID-19 variant has certainly surged, but we will continue to follow our safety protocols to reopen school as safely as possible. We need everyone's cooperation to keep infection rates as low as possible.
- Please make sure students are signed up to be tested weekly at the school site. Registration link for Webster Elementary Students:
- Please have students who are 5 years or older vaccinated against COVID19.
- Please keep your student home if they are showing any signs of illness.
- Please upgrade to a surgical mask or a KN95 instead of a cloth mask and reiterate the masking policy with your student/s. Masks must cover the nose, chin and mouth and will be worn inside at all times and outside if within 6 feet of another person.
- Please send your student with a personal water bottle.
We will do the following on site:
- Provide surgical masks for any student who needs one.
- Test students on campus every Thursday with consent.
- Identify and quarantine positive cases and close contacts.
- Continue to use hand sanitizer and frequent hand washing.
- Send students home who are showing any signs of illness.
- Require that all students comply with masking requirements.
- Conduct symptom screening, including temperature checks, for every student before they enter school each day.
Student Drop Off and Pick Up
According to safety guidelines, parents may not enter the campus. Please avoid congregating at the school gates.
Procedures for morning drop off have been changed back to our protocols from last spring. Parents may not enter past the walking gate on Washington Blvd. Students will be screened at the walking gate for fever and other symptoms. No parents will be permitted to exit their cars during pick-up or drop-off unless your child needs accommodations/accessibility and it is pre-arranged. Please notify family or caregivers who drop off and pick up students of these changes.
PreK, TK, Kinder and siblings and our special-education class student drop-off will remain unchanged with the addition of temperature and symptom screening.
Please email Ms. Khrlopyan at khrlopyan.arpine@pusd.us if you will be picking your child up from the walking gate instead of using the drive-thru car pick up line, so that we have students at the gate at dismissal.
By car: 1st-5th grade parents should pull up to the Circle Drive entrance by the staff parking lot and follow instructions. We ask that you pull all the way forward for screening before your student exits the car. Please follow all traffic rules, and be patient during peak traffic times.
Walking: parents may walk their children to the designated walking gate off Washington Blvd next to the staff parking lot. Please maintain physical distance from others. Students will be screened at the gate.
Pick-up after school:
TK-5th grade: Circle Drive or Walking Gate by the staff parking lot.
LACOE has announced a take-home testing program for K-12 students. I will send out more information, including the distribution process, when it has been received.
Please email me and the classroom teacher(s) this evening or as soon as possible tomorrow morning if your child will not be attending school this week.
In the event of a teacher absence that cannot be filled by a substitute or certificated staff member, students may be assigned to another teacher for the day. You will be notified if this is necessary.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are authorized for assisting with the supervision of
students. If you are interested please contact Mrs. Rojas, our office manager at rojas.linda@pusd.us.
All volunteers must provide either: a) proof of Covid vaccination prior to starting any
volunteer work; or, b) proof of a negative Covid test performed by a medical
laboratory provider weekly. Proof of vaccination may be provided in the form of a
Covid vaccination card or a screenshot of a digital record with a corresponding QR
code.
Proof of Covid vaccination must include the individual’s name and date(s) of
vaccine administration.
● Proof of vaccination or negative weekly test results for Level 1 volunteer records
should be completed and retained at the school site using the attached “Volunteer
Vaccination/Negative Test Result Attestment” form.
● Volunteers must record their time at the school site using the same “visitors log” that
denotes their name, entry/leave times, phone number, and email address.
● Volunteers are expected to follow the same Covid exposure and quarantine/isolation
protocols that PUSD staff follow as part of the Covid Safety Plan.
Tax Deductible Giving through Webster's Annual Fund
Daniel Webster Elementary School has been honored as a California Distinguished School. Great teachers, strong leadership, and parent involvement make Daniel Webster a great school to send our children.
In addition to the great education our students receive, they are also provided with various opportunities to participate in our music and arts activities. We're asking for your support to continue this legacy by donating to the Daniel Webster Annual Fund and help us reach our goal of $50,000.
These funds will be used to financially support our music and arts programs, and to support the instructional goals set forth by the School Site Council
We would like to see every family donate at least $1.00 per week ($50 for the school year) for each child they have enrolled at Daniel Webster.
Think of it as donating less than the cost of a weekly cup of coffee or soft drink to help ensure that your child receives a high quality education.
If you can donate more, we would encourage you to donate towards our Giving Tree. We have various levels of donations:
Bronze - $100
Silver - $200
Gold - $300
VIP - $500 or more
