Hello Hoover Rockets,

Students are loving the new Chromebooks.  They can flip the display screen and use it like a tablet. We have 4 Chromebook Carts circulating now!

Webster Elementary ACAT program serves the academic needs of gifted and talented students in our community. Join us to learn if this program might meet the needs of your youngster. We accept applications to consider students in kindergarten through 4th grade. You will learn about our application and selection process, our philosophy and our curriculum. On hand will be the school principal, Mrs. Lora Boka and the ACAT teacher facilitator, Mr. David Zyczynski to lead a discussion and answer your questions.

Did you know that we have 4th grade recess equipment managers?  They push the carts of recess equipment outside and bring them in at the end of recess.  These students also assist in gathering any equipment that might not get returned to the cart so it does not end up "missing" overnight.  Thank you to Mr. "O" and his 4th grade equipment managers for maintaining our recess equipment.
