MEET THE CANDIDATES NIGHT
The Webutuck Central School District Pre-K -12 PTA would like to help the community gain information about the candidates running for school board in the May 18 election. As a means to that end, we are hosting a “Meet the Candidates Night” on Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 7:00 pm in the high school auditorium.
The night will consist of a brief introduction by each candidate, a question and answer period, and a closing statement. Questions can be written and submitted to the moderator to be asked of each candidate. All seven prospective board members plan to be in attendance. The candidates are as follows:
Victoria Alexander, Joanne Boyd, Heidi Dean, Andrew Jablonsky, William McGhee, Ann Sheeley, and Casey Swift.
The PTA encourages all community members to come out Thursday, May 13 at 7:00 and have your questions answered by the people who wish to represent your family on the school board. Remember, the school board makes important decisions that steer our children’s education and spend your tax dollars. This is a perfect opportunity to become an informed voter in the upcoming election on May 18.
Light refreshments will be served.
Dear Parents,
May is Family Wellness Month. Family Wellness is something that impacts every one of us. While medical health is important, Family Wellness Month emphasizes healthy family lifestyles and habits as well. The healthier each individual is overall, the healthier we can all be as a family!
In honor of Family Wellness Month we are asking the families in our school to help their children focus on two areas of wellness- exercise and healthy food choices.
We will be encouraging children to discuss these areas in school, and to talk about some of the good choices we all make to keep ourselves healthy. On the back of this page you will find a chart. Use the chart to record some of the healthy choices your family makes this week. Every child who participates and returns the sheet on Friday will get a prize!
A new sheet will go home each Friday in May, and the following Friday the children will get prizes related to the theme of exercise and good nutrition. We hope many of you will participate in our celebration of Family Wellness Month, and enjoy exploring healthy choices together!

Rachel's Challenge
Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America.
Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel's life and the Columbine tragedy holds students spell-bound during a one hour school presentation that motivates them to positive change in the way they treat others.
This is followed by an interactive 45-minute training session involving both adult and student leaders that shows how to sustain the momentum created by the assembly. The assembly creates the “want to” or desire for positive change. The training session teaches the “how to” and ensures that the positive impact will continue.
That evening the Rachel’s Challenge speaker conducts a powerful session with parents and community leaders. This session is similar to the assembly program and ends with a specific challenge to parents and community leaders, showing them how they can reinforce the decisions their youth are making. Entertainers, politicians, sports celebrities, educators, and even two Presidents of the United States have been impacted by Rachel’s Challenge. However, students are the target audience and they have proven that they will respond with positive words, attitudes, and actions. Your school will never be the same after being exposed to Rachel’s Challenge!
Rachel's Challenge will be at Webutuck Jr/Sr High School on March 18, 2010 for two assemblies during the day and an evening session for the community at 7:00 pm. The assemblies during school will be in the Webutuck High School gym and the evening session will take place in the High School gym.
Thank you - Donations for Rachel's Challenge

A message from Superintendent David Paciencia:
In the interest of safety for all of our students, please be advised that effective on Monday, November 16, 2009, we will be locking all doors to the schools until specific arrival times. Doors will be opened at 7:15 A.M. at the Junior-Senior High School, at 8:40 A.M. at the Intermediate School, and at 8:35 A.M. at our Elementary School, known as WES. Entry times for the Pre-K students at Millerton will be at 8:45 A.M. and 12:30 P.M. Students who are brought to school by parents will need to be dropped off at the appropriate time at the front entries, except at Millerton, and parents will no longer be allowed to walk their children to their classrooms. Please be aware this change has been brought about after meeting with two police agencies. Sadly, the times we are living in have changed greatly, and we are trying our best to take the necessary precautions to keep your children safe while in the school setting at all times. Thank you in advance for your understanding and your cooperation.

Key Communicator 9-22-09 -ALERTNOW
Dear Parents,
Keeping you informed is a top priority at Webutuck Central School. That’s why we have adopted the ALERTNOW Notification Service which will allow us to send a telephone or e-mail message to you providing important information about school events or emergencies. We anticipate using ALERTNOW to notify you of school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather, as well as remind you about various events, including report card distribution, open house, field trips, and more. In the event of an emergency at school, you can have peace of mind knowing that you will be informed immediately by phone.
What you need to know about receiving calls sent through ALERTNOW
- Caller ID will display the school’s main number when general announcement is delivered.
- Caller ID will display 411 if the message is a dire emergency.
- ALERTNOW will leave a message on any answering machine or voicemail.
- If the ALERTNOW message stops playing, press any key 1-9 and the message will replay from the beginning.
We are pleased to incorporate ALERTNOW as a tool to improve school-to-parent communications. We look forward to having the ability to deliver real time information to you and to provide awareness of all the great events that take place within the school system.
Sincerely,
Mr. David Paciencia
Superintendent
