Notes from our School Nurse
If your child is injured, the health office must have a physician's note outlining restrictions for PE and recess. We also need a physician's note for when your child is no longer restricted.
Seasonal Allergies
As the weather starts to warm up, grass begins to grow, and flowers and trees start to bud and blossom, so are seasonal allergy symptoms. Symptoms may include, but not be limited to, clear, runny noses, post nasal drip, dry cough, and watery or itchy eyes. If giving antihistamines to your child and they tend to make him/her drowsy, give the dose before bed. If the opposite occurs (i.e., hyperactivity), give the dose during the daytime (morning or after school). Ask your physician for which medicine is the most appropriate for your child’s allergy symptoms.
Check out the Klem North school website under health office for more information and forms. Please contact me with any health concerns for your child.
Thank you for keeping your child home if they are too ill (severe coughing,vomiting) and or have a fever. Students must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medicine before returning back to school.

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!
