Webster Area School District

The Webster Area Band and Choir senior students are selling World’s Finest Chocolate Bars and delivering them with a note to students for Valentine’s Day! Deliveries will be on February 12th due to there not being school on the 13th or 14th. Any funds raised will go towards their senior music trip for the end of this school year. Forms are being sent home with students and/or can be found in either school office. Each form is for one order, please submit payment with your order form. Please return order forms with payment to the elementary/middle school office, high school office, or Mr./Ms. Garry by February 4th. Thank you!

The Webster Area School District has joined many other SD school districts in the Farm to School Program. Our goal is to serve 100% locally grown and processed beef in our hot lunch program.

Notice: If your student qualifies for Free or Reduced Meals, that could save you approximately $900/year for one student that qualifies for Free Meals and $600/year for Reduced Meals.

Now that we have an awesome upgraded playground, let’s keep it that way! We’ve posted 8 signs around the playground with the rules, so please take a moment to read them (see attachment). We ask everyone using the playground to follow these rules to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all. If you see someone not following the rules, please address it directly with them or report it to the school office or the police. We especially need your help during non-school hours. Let’s all work together to keep this playground an awesome facility! Thanks for your cooperation!

Reminder from Sheyenne Transportation: Parents should drop their children off on the north side of the Elementary, not where the buses unload. Thank you!
