This time of year always conjures up the idea of resolutions. Resolutions, when we think about them, are really about setting goals and seeing them through. The easier part of the process may be picking something to change or deciding on a goal. To be persistent is probably the harder thing to do. Setting a goal or coming up with a resolution - is a great conversation to have with your children. Spend some time discussing the idea of resolutions and share your own resolutions with your children. Help them to come up with some of their own. Better yet, set a family resolution and work together to achieve it. Setting a goal/resolution together may help you all to persevere. It is a valuable life skill and one that can benefit everyone. Perhaps you can take the time every day to think of one thing for which you are grateful.
In these cold winter months that follow, please remember to send your children to school dressed for the weather (warm coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and possibly even snow pants). On days when it is appropriate, teachers will try to get their classes outside for some fresh winter air.
- When dropping off your child/children in the morning, please make sure you are pulling all the way up to avoid back ups and traffic jams on State Road.
- If you drop your child off after 8am, please walk your child in and sign him/her in.
- Please do not park in the fire lane. You are able to park on the inside loop or either of our 2 parking lots.
Thank you!

Check out what our Eagles are doing this month!
We will be singing about snowmen, reading books about snowmen, making snowmen out of shapes and the letter S, counting snowmen, going on a scavenger hunt to find snowmen with numbers on them, playing "Snowman Says", and hoping for snow so we can build them outside!!
The Eagle Express Post Office is in full swing! Congratulations to Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Laycock's 4th grade class for winning the December challenge and the Golden Mailbox. They wrote 42 letters to their buddy class- Mrs. Quester's first graders! The January challenge will be minutes spent writing with a buddy class. Great job, Eagles!
A huge shout out goes to the Safety Patrol Phase I members for their great work this first half of the school year. Safeties are located around the entire length of the bus loop at every bus. They hold the doors open to ensure that our children are entering the building quickly and carefully. Some safeties are escorts for children exiting their buses a bit earlier to attend the breakfast program. Two safeties hold directional signs so that students know in which direction to turn to get to their bus. Their help is invaluable! Mrs. Pray, Mr. Miller and Ms. Kaempffe would not be able to do their jobs as bus loaders without the help of this group of responsible students! Phase II will begin at the end of this month with a fresh group of safeties working hard to keep our children safe while unboarding and boarding our buses.

Important Information for Potential Weather-Related Closings/Cancellations
‘Tis the season when snow and cold can sometimes result in school closings! It’s important that all families are fully prepared in the event that Webster CSD needs to close school for the day or send students home early. Please make a plan and discuss it with your child. Should the weather necessitate school closings and cancellations, Webster CSD families will be notified via the district’s automated calling system, Infinite Campus’ Student and Parent Portal. Parents can modify how they get this information (text, phone call, email) through the Contact Preference tab on the portal.
An even faster way to get this news is to follow district social media: Facebook.com/WebsterCentralSchools, Twitter @wcsdproud, and superintendent’s Twitter @superwebstercsd, and the district website websterschools.org. Local TV and radio stations will also be informed.
Please note that when the schools are closed due to weather, all aquatics and community education classes are also cancelled along with all programs and events taking place in Webster CSD buildings. WonderCare may be the exception; please consult their website, websterschools.org/wondercare, and social media Facebook.com/WonderCare and Twitter @wondercarewcsd.
