Mr. Kaczynski
Dean
of Students
Welcome the Webster Middle School Website. Our goal is to help you stay informed and
involved in your child’s educational experience.
At the start of the school year your child received our new
Student Handbook and I would like to take this opportunity to highlight some of
the changes that were made. If you have
not yet had a moment to read through it with your child, it is important that
you now take the time to do so and upon completion, please sign the Internet Use and Access Form along with
the Student Guidelines / Policy Signature
Sheet. These forms must be turned in
as soon as possible. Thanks!
Some of the changes I want to draw your attention to that
were made over the summer can be found on pages 2 and 3 of the Student Handbook.
- By
law, students must attend school and are not permitted to have more than
seven (7) absences in a six month period.
On page 3 of the Handbook please take the time to familiarize
yourself with the Excused Absences
and Unexcused Absences. Administration, in an ongoing effort to
create a policy that is fair to our families and school personnel, has
devised an absenteeism protocol that hopefully will build a solid
foundation and long-lasting relationship between home and school that promotes
the importance of attending school daily.
Please pay special attention to this policy and become familiar
with the school’s actions as we now currently operate on a schedule of 4,
8, 12, 15 and 20 unexcused absences. Do not hesitate to contact administration
should our assistance be required with this matter.
- On the
same page you’ll find our protocol for Tardiness. This policy
was adopted last year and proved to be very successful. The early numbers this year indicate
that the success attained a year ago is not a coincidence. Our school day begins promptly at 8:15 and we expect all students to be in
their class, at their desk, and prepared to begin their day at this
time. If a child is tardy he/she must
report to the main office to receive a late slip and then report to their
homeroom. Constant tardiness will
be addressed in the following manner:
Ø
After five (5) tardies
your child will be required to serve one before school detention (7:45 – 8:10)
Ø
After ten (10) tardies
your child will be required to serve two before school detentions (7:45 – 8:10)
Ø
After fifteen (15) tardies
your child will be required to serve one week before school detentions (7:45 – 8:10)
I cannot stress the importance of having your child in
school everyday and on time. Our goal is to raise and educate our children in a
rigorous, engaging, supportive, diverse academic environment. Their attendance in school is essential in
reaching this goal. I thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.
If I can be of assistance in the future, answer any
questions, or assist with any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me at 508-943-1922 or by e-mail
at: akaczynski@webster-schools.org.
Thank you.
