Report Cards
From March until June, grading was suspended due to school closure. Comments reflect the work presented during the spring semester.
During the school closure, Webster Schools had to redesign the way grading worked for each level - elementary, middle and high school. High school students must earn credits and pass exams in order to graduate. At elementary schools, students do not need to earn course credit, but do work toward standards at each grade level. Our district chose to not assign grades at any level. On your child’s elementary report card, you will see a summary of the work presented to your child. Throughout the closure, we asked families to do the best they could, and we continue to support that idea by offering a summary of work presented for each student. Everyone at WCSD thanks our families for supporting this process.
Report cards are available in your child's portal. As always, please email ICPortal@webstercsd.org for access or issues with IC portal.
Student Devices and Belongings
Again, we will be available to distribute belongings and collect devices during the week of July 6th. We kindly ask that you return school items at some point during this week.

F.I.R.E.- How can Klem South families get involved?
We wanted to remind you about our F.I.R.E. group in Webster. F.I.R.E. stands for Families Igniting Racial Equity. Information about the F.I.R.E. group is provided below. Any families interested in attending a meeting or learning more about us can email wcsdequity.webstercsd.org with their inquiry.
Families Igniting Racial Equity (F.I.R.E.)
Webster families, teachers, administrators, and BOE members working together to address issues of racial equality in our school.
Focus is on developing and implementing action oriented steps that create a positive impact on the outcomes and experiences of our students.
F.I.R.E. has become an asset to the general community by providing advocacy, resources and tools to promote understanding among the community at large.
F.I.R.E. Subcommittees: (1) Recruiting & Hiring Diverse Teachers/Staff, (2) African-American Heritage, (3) Hispanic Heritage, (4) Multicultural Curriculum (5) Family Engagement
We highly encourage you to get involved! As dates are set for future meetings, we will communicate them to you.
