Pupil Services
The School District of Webster is committed to work collaboratively with students, families, parents, staff and community resources to provide supports to increase student access to instruction and reduce barriers which prevent students from experiencing success in school. Pupil Services provide resources and supports in the schools in the areas of attendance, behavior, community mental health services, special education, and Section 504. Our District has special education staff, school counselors, a nurse and a contracted school psychologist through CESA #11 available to provide services that are designed to enhance student success.
Special Education
The School District of Webster's Special Education Department provides services for students who are identified with a disability. Students who are suspected of having a disability are referred for an evaluation to determine if they have a special need.
If a student is determined to have a disability and needs special education services to access their education through the evaluation process, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is developed to identify goals, objectives, support and related services they require to benefit from the educational process. Following the development of the IEP, an appropriate educational placement will be determined and offered to parents/guardians. The parents are an integral part of the IEP process and IEP team.
Special Education (Child Find)
Upon request, the School District of Webster is required to evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in elementary schools and secondary schools located in the school district.

Dyslexia Guidebook
Wisconsin's Informational Guidebook on Dyslexia and Related Conditions, required by 2019 Wisconsin Act 86, was created through collaboration between an advisory committee created by Act 86 and DPI.
Per Act 86, the informational guidebook discusses screening, instruction and intervention, and resources that can support improved learning for school-aged individuals with characteristics of dyslexia. The audience for the information is broad and includes, but is not limited to, parents and families, educators, interventionists or reading teachers, and educational leaders.
The School District of Webster supports all students including those with dyslexia and other related conditions. Below you will find information on how to find support and guidance for those with dyslexia or if you suspect a student could be struggling with dyslexia or other related conditions.
