Notes from our School Nurse
Happy and Healthy 2019 Hearing and vision screenings will continue moving onto 3rd and 5th graders. Letters only go home if there is a concern with your child’s screening. Thank you for providing the health office with a copy of your child’s current physical. NYS requires a current physical on file for Kindergarteners, 1st, 3rd and 5th graders. Please continue to send your child in with hat, gloves and coat for outdoor recess. Thank you for keeping your child home if they are too ill and or have a fever. Students must be fever free for 24 hours without the use of medicine before returning back to school. Check out the Klem North school website under health office for more information and forms.

From the Board of Education
One Webster Community Approves Capital Improvement Project!
We want to thank the One Webster community for heading to the polls on Tuesday, December 11 and APPROVING the district’s capital improvement project by a more than 2:1 margin! The final vote tally was 1,595 (68%) YES and 763 (32%) NO.
The $69.5 million project is focused on community wellness, safety and security, and infrastructure integrity and touches all 11 school buildings and the transportation department’s headquarters -- truly transforming our district for generations of WCSD students to come! The project includes new state-of-the-art libraries/media centers at all elementary schools, Willink Middle School, and Webster Schroeder HS. There will also be substantial renovations to the Webster Thomas HS technology education wing, district-wide safety and security upgrades, and playing field improvements at both high schools, to name just a few highlights.
On behalf of the entire board of education, thank you for making your voice heard regarding this transformative project. We look forward to sharing details of the project’s progress in the months and years to come.
We also wish all WCSD families a Happy New Year! Check back often for important board updates throughout 2019.
WCSD Announces WonderCare Before and After School Childcare Program
WCSD is pleased to announce the opening of WonderCare, the district's new before and after school childcare program. WonderCare will open its doors in September 2019 at each of WCSD’s seven elementary schools and will be available to all WCSD-enrolled kindergarten through sixth grade students.
WonderCare 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 will provide an outstanding part-time, full-time, or drop-in program for WCSD elementary and sixth grade families seeking childcare at a reasonable rate. The program includes caring, experienced directors and staff members with an onsite coordinator at every elementary building. All elements of WonderCare programming will support WCSD’s curriculum and provide even more worthwhile educational experiences for our students. As with all public education programs, WonderCare will be overseen by the New York State Education Department.
WonderCare will serve as an option for families seeking before and after school childcare programming for the 2019-20 school year. Enrollment packets will be available beginning in January 2019.
Please visit our 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.
