Principal Message

Dear Webster County Middle School Families,

Welcome back, WCMS students and families! We hope everyone enjoyed a restful and refreshing fall break. We had a great first week back and it was wonderful to see our students return ready to learn, reconnect with friends, and get back into their routines. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to make this a successful school year. Let’s keep the momentum going and make the weeks ahead great ones!

Nicholas Eastham

Tutoring

Need a little extra help getting the day started? APEX offers a before-school homework/tutoring session Monday–Thursday beginning at 7:10 AM at WCMS. Students can get help with assignments, ask questions, or have a quiet place to get some work done before the school day begins.

Reading Matters!

Athletics

Home Athletic and Extra-Curricular Events

This is a reminder that students are not permitted to remain at school after dismissal while waiting for a home athletic event to begin. Allowing students to remain on campus without being affiliated with an athletic or extracurricular team creates a safety and supervision concern.

Most home athletic events begin at 5:30 p.m., unless otherwise communicated. Students should leave campus at the regular dismissal time and return when the event is scheduled to begin.

Thank you for your continued support, cooperation, and patience as we work to ensure a safe environment for all students.

Athletic Ticket Sales via GoFan

Webster County Middle School is now utilizing GoFan to sell athletic game tickets to all of our home events; we will no longer be accepting cash sales. Please click the following link for directions on how to purchase tickets: https://gofan.co/event/1709007?schoolId=KY74849. Purchasing tickets prior to the events helps to reduce wait-time in a ticket line. You may use a debit/credit card at the gate if tickets are not purchased online. Again, cash sales for tickets are no longer accepted.

Attendance Matters!

School attendance is important. We want all students present and learning daily!

Late Arrival and Check-In Procedure

We understand that students may occasionally arrive at school after the regular arrival time. When this occurs, an adult must accompany the student into the building and complete the check-in process through the front office.

For the safety and accountability of all students, please escort your child into the building and ensure they are properly checked in with the front office staff.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support as we work together to ensure all students arrive at school safely each day.

Health Office Information

See flyer for information

Over-the-Counter Medicine Policy

Effective with the 2025–2026 school year, OTC medications, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, antacids, cough drops, or prescription medications, may not be administered to students unless the school has a written order from a licensed medical provider and a signed consent form from a parent or guardian.

In addition, no more than a 30-day supply of any medication may be delivered to the school at one time. Large bulk containers (such as 200-count bottles of Tylenol) will not be accepted.

The OTC medicine form is available online or on the ParentSquare app under 'More' and 'Links'. The form is not valid unless it includes both the healthcare provider’s signature and the parent or guardian’s signature.

This statewide regulation is part of an ongoing initiative to enhance student safety and standardize health procedures across Kentucky schools.
