BEFORE-AND AFTER-SCHOOL CHILD CARE PROGRAM
The Palisades-Malibu YMCA provides childcare after school hours for Webster students. Before-school child care will be provided if at least 10 children need it. A sliding fee structure makes this service available to all. The director provides time for doing homework, as well as games, crafts, dramatics, singing, cooking, sports, movies and special events. Care is provided every school day and certain school holidays from 1:45-6:00 p.m. in Room 24, the facility on the lower playground. Call 310-454-5591 for more information.
LIBRARY
Our beautiful, new library is open daily to students under the supervision of our librarian. In addition, children visit the library as part of their regular classroom activities, where they receive instruction in library skills and may check out books.
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SPECIALIST
Instrumental music instruction is provided at Webster twice weekly during class time to interested fourth- and fifth-grade students. This program is funded by the School District.
VOCAL MUSIC
The school district provides a weekly 30 minute vocal music lesson to every 3rd grade class. The classes then learn to play the recorder during the second semester. Webster PTA funds a weekly vocal music lesson for every kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade class.
Students falling below grade level in reading are offered after school and summer classes to help them make satisfactory progress.
DISTRICT NURSE
The school nurse spends every Monday and Tuesday at Webster, providing testing and First Aid as needed. The nurse also provides classroom instruction on health-related topics. Our office staff is trained in First Aid, and is in contact with the nurse when she is elsewhere in the District the rest of the week.
DISTRICT PSYCHOLOGIST
Psychological testing and evaluation are available upon teacher recommendation and parental request.
