Webster Weekly News
Week of February 26-March 1, 2024
MORNING DROP OFF AND AFTER SCHOOL PICK UP
- There is NO PARKING in front of Webster School EXECPT for Handicap Accessible Parking. Please do not stop or park in the designated handicap accessible parking spots for drop off or pick up.
- The Watertown Police Department has informed us that people arriving to pick-up students should not park in front of school or between the bus lanes on 10th Street prior to 15 minutes before school lets out. If you are in those spots earlier, they will consider you “parked” and not just “picking up” and you may receive a parking ticket. Please be aware of this parking ordinance when making arrangements to drop off/pick up your child(ren). Unattended vehicles may receive tickets also.
- The 10th Street driveway is for a quick drop-off only in the morning. No cars are allowed in the 10th Street driveway after school.
- If you are visiting Webster during the school day please park in one of the lots. Please refrain from parking past the gate on the south playground if you are staying at school during the day.

MARCH 1-READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY-WOULD YOU, COULD YOU, READ IN YOUR HOOD?
Each year, National Read Across America Day is celebrated on March 2nd, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. This annual event is part of Read Across America, an initiative to encourage a love for reading in children. At Webster School, we will celebrate on Friday, March 1, with a "Would You, Could You, Read in Your Hood?"-an all school dress up day. Students simply need to wear some type of hooded shirt to school on Friday, March1st. Students will be able to wear their hood up over their head for the entire day. This will be a special treat as we typically do not allow hoods to be worn inside the building. Students will also have a designated time to read independently and enjoy a small snack!
