We are excited to announce an improved field trip process for families. Beginning in the 2023-2024 school year, all field trip permission slips will be electronic and we are moving to cashless payments for field trips. This is a new process for our entire district and is meant to streamline and improve our service to families.
Additional information will be shared by teachers as they plan for field trips. However, we want to highlight the following features:
-
Our new online field trip process must be completed via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
-
All online transaction fees have been waived, including payments made by credit card, debit card, and checking/savings account.
-
If a field trip is sponsored by the district, the cost of the trip is waived for families who are eligible and approved to receive free and reduced priced meals. (This will be communicated to impacted families.)
Our school secretary will be available to assist families as needed and if a parent/guardian is unable to complete the online field trip process, we can provide support in-person or over the phone.
We look forward to providing your child(ren) with enriching field trip experiences that contribute to their educational journey. We appreciate your continued partnership and engagement!

The form below was sent home with every student. If you need one, please contact your child's teacher or the school office.

School Breakfast/Lunch
All Webster students will receive a breakfast and lunch at school each day for the 2023-24 school year at NO CHARGE. This is a result of the district's implementing the Community Eligibility Provision while participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. Your students will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. Please note that families that wish to receive additional benefits that the program provides such as free snack milk, dental care, and waived student fees, you must still complete the application as noted below. Breakfast is served in the classroom beginning at 7:45 am.
Recess Milk
Recess milk is a snack milk taken by students during the school day. The cost for recess milk is $.40 per milk. (There is no charge for recess milk if you qualify for the Free or Reduced Lunch Program) Teachers will be charging student accounts for milk daily. Please make sure that your child's teacher is aware if your child will not be taking milk so the account does not get charged.
Sack Lunch Milk
Students that choose to bring a sack lunch from home may purchase a milk at the cost of $.40. This amount will be deducted from your child's account. Daily payments for sack lunch milk will not be accepted. Please note that if you qualify for the free and reduced lunch program, you do not receive free milk with your sack lunch. In addition, please note that there are no microwaves on site for students to use at lunch time.
Free and Reduced Lunch Program
All Webster students will be able to receive free breakfast and lunch each day; however, to be eligible for additional benefits such as waived fees, dental services, and free snack milk, you must apply for the program. All households were notified in August about applying for the free or reduced lunch program. A new application must be completed each year to be eligible for the lunch program. In addition, you can apply online for the program right in your Parent Portal.
If you have questions, please contact the Food Services Department at 920-424-7578.

Reminders from the Office
Absence Call: All students that will not be attending school for the day must be called in to the school office each day they are absent, unless you have communicated otherwise with the office staff. If you leave a voicemail message, be sure to include the student's name, teacher's name and reason for the absence (if ill, please let us know the symptoms as we are required by Winnebago County to keep track of all illnesses).
Students Arriving Late to School: If your student arrives in the building after 7:55 a.m., they must stop at the office to check in before going to class. Additionally, you need to call and excuse them for being late, or they will be marked unexcused.
Morning Drop-Off: Students may be dropped off before school starts at 7:30 a.m. Students do not have recess before school starts, so they should stand on a dot. Students are allowed to enter the building at 7:35 a.m.
After-School Pick-Up: School releases promptly at 2:45 p.m. For the safety of all students, please make sure you are on time to pick up your child. If you are unable to arrive at 2:45 p.m., you should make alternate arrangements for your child's pick-up. Please make sure you keep a consistent routine and that your child knows where to meet you.
Starting Oct. 2, busing will be offered by the Boys & Girls Club on a first-come, first-served basis for After School Program Participants. Even though the flyer says "Menominee Elementary" this is for Webster EL and Merrill EL students for this school year (2023-2024). Sign up through the Boys & Girls Club.
