In collaboration with Save the Children, Webster County Schools will be hosting a Taste of Kindergarten event at Glade Elementary and Webster Springs Elementary on Tuesday, May 27th. This school readiness event enables children and families to become familiar with their new school, meet staff and teachers, make new friends, engage in early learning activities, and establish a new routine. If your child attended Webster County PreK during the 2024-25 school year and will be attending the same school for kindergarten, you do not need to register for this event; however, if your child is moving schools or did not attend PreK in Webster County, please click the link https://forms.office.com/r/rSbrKzs6VF or scan the QR code to register today.

Webster County Schools is actively working to improve our attendance rate. We would like to partner with families to create a culture of attendance. The goal for WC students is to have an attendance rate of 95%. If your student has missed more than 3 days so far this year, their attendance rate is below 95%, this includes excused and unexcused absences. The chart shows the average attendance rate for each school. By the end of the semester, we would like to see each school's average attendance be above the 95% mark.
Please talk with your students about the importance of attendance. To help eliminate challenges around absenteeism, assess your child's sleep schedule, nutritional diet, physical and mental health, as well as time spent on electronics. If you need assistance with any of these challenges, please reach out to your school social worker or counselor. Our staff will help create a plan of action to help your child reach the goal of success. #9isfinebutlessisprime #attendancematters #strivefor95
