Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible moms, grandmas, guardians, and mother figures in our Webster community! 💚💛

Thank you for the love, support, encouragement, and sacrifices you make each day for your children. Your partnership, strength, and care help make our school community so special. We hope today brings you time to feel appreciated, celebrated, and loved.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Webster Elementary! 🌷

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week 💚

Honoring the incredible teachers and staff at Webster Elementary
✨ Creating classrooms where kids feel safe to take risks
✨ Pushing students to grow and succeed
✨ Showing up every day for what matters most

We’re proud of the results too:
📈 30% of our English learners moved up a level on AZELLA (above district average!)
📈 On track for 5% growth in reading + math

As I get ready to say goodbye in the coming weeks, I’m carrying a lot of gratitude (and a heavy heart). This team is something special.

If you can, take a moment this week to thank a Webster staff member—they deserve it.

Mesa Police Department Statement – Concerns Over Federal Agency Presence

The Mesa Police Department is committed to working in partnership with our community to promote public safety, protect individual rights, and build trust through professionalism, transparency, and respect. A safe and resilient community is achieved when law enforcement and the people we serve work together.

As community concerns increase regarding the presence of outside agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or U.S. military personnel — our goal is to clearly communicate the role of Mesa police officers and the scope of our operations.

What to Expect from Mesa PD Officers
• Mesa PD officers always identify themselves in the course of their duties.
• Officers responding to calls for service or conducting enforcement do not wear full-face coverings.
• Officers’ uniforms or attire display visible Mesa Police Department identifiers, such as department-issued badges or markings, appropriate to their assignment.
• Mesa PD officers do not participate in immigration-related enforcement operations within our community, including at businesses, on streets, or in neighborhoods.

If you encounter someone claiming to be a Mesa PD officer who refuses to identify themselves or does not have visible department markings, and you wish to confirm their identity:
• Call 911 immediately if the situation is occurring at that moment.
• For non-emergency concerns, contact the Mesa Police Department non-emergency line at 480-644-2211.

How Mesa PD Operates
Mesa PD officers do not enforce federal immigration laws. Our responsibility is to uphold Arizona state and local laws and protect public safety. While Mesa PD has a jail-enforcement model agreement with ICE, any contact with ICE occurs only after an individual has been arrested for a violation of Arizona state law.

For more information, see the Mesa Transparency Page – Immigration Facts. https://www.mesaaz.gov/Public-Safety/Mesa-Police/Community/Transparency-In-Policing/Are-Immigration-Facts

Mesa PD cannot interrupt or interfere with federal law enforcement operations, as doing so would be a violation of federal law.

We do collaborate with federal partners on serious criminal investigations — to include violent crime, trafficking and the exploitation of children and vulnerable people. These partnerships are focused on public safety, conducted within clearly defined roles, and carried out with respect for constitutional rights.

The Mesa Police Department supports the right of individuals to peacefully and lawfully express their views. At the same time, we will not tolerate criminal behavior, violence, or actions that place people or property at risk. Our focus remains on safeguarding our community, protecting constitutional rights, and maintaining public trust through lawful, professional policing.
