MealpayPlus
Beginning January 1, 2010, Fulton County Schools will offer
Mealpay Plus, an online prepayment system for student
cafeteria accounts. For a small program fee, Mealpay Plus
allows any family to make payments using a credit card or
debit card, check account balances online, and even auto-pay
your student’s account when it reaches a low balance. There
is no cost to receive notifications when your student’s
account balance is low, view your child’s account balance,
or to monitor your child’s purchases. Call 1-866-243-9535 or
go to MealpayPlus website to register.
True Blue Schools
Georgia Natural Gas (GNG) has a wonderful donation program
called TrueBlue Schools. For every current GNG customer who
registers for Webb Bridge Middle School online at
www.TrueBlueSchools.com, the school will receive $5.00
for each month you continue to be a GNG customer. If you are
not a current GNG customer, switch now, and WBMS will
receive a $40 donation and $5.00 for each month you remain
an active GNG customer. Please check out
www.TrueBlueSchools.com to register for WBMS today or to
learn more about the program.
Carpool Safety
Traffic is highly congested in the neighboring area
surrounding our school in the morning and after school. In
an attempt to ensure the safety of every student and to
expedite the arrival and dismissal process, please be sure
to load and unload your children only between the yellow
lines in front of the school.
Early Dismissal Procedures
If a student needs to leave school before normal dismissal
time, a note from the parent or guardian requesting early
dismissal must be sent to the office on the morning of the
requested early dismissal. The student will be dismissed
from class to come to the office at the time indicated on
the note. Parents or guardians must come to the office to
sign out their children. Your cooperation with this
procedure is requested as it minimizes interruptions to
instruction. Of course, in an emergency, a parent may come
directly to the office to request that a student be
dismissed early.
Membership Drive Still in Progress
It’s not too late to join the WBMS PTA. Your PTA funds a
wide variety of programs and events which benefit every
student and faculty member at Webb Bridge. Additionally,
directories are available only by purchasing a PTA
membership at the bronze ($40) level or above. Need a
form? Visit the PTA website at www.wbmspta.org, download
and print the form and send it in to your child’s homeroom
teacher. The PTA appreciates your support!
Free and Reduced Meal Applications—Every Little Bit Helps
Due to the current status of our economy, we want to make all parents
aware that free and reduced meal applications are available. This is a
federally assisted meal program that provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost
or free meals to children each school day. Applications may be submitted at any
time during the school year and are available from the school nutrition manager
at all schools in the district. If you have questions, please feel free to
contact the school cafeteria at Webb Bridge Middle School or visit
http://www.fultonschools.org/dept/schoolnutrition/ for more
information.
Artists Needed!
Are you a Webb Bridge parent who loves to paint? Webb Bridge is looking for parent volunteers who would like to finish painting works by the
American Grand Masters on the walls in the halls. If you have the time and the talent, please call the school for more information at 770-667-2940. Thank
you!
Bus Information
The FCSS transportation department is in the process
of reviewing the bus schedules for WBMS. Your
child’s pick up or delivery time may change. Please
check the Fulton county website (www.fultonschools.org)
for details. Thank you for your patience and
understanding.
Affidavit of Residence required
Starting this school year, parents/guardians of all
students must submit a notarized Affidavit of Residence form certifying that the family resides in
Fulton County. This applies to both current and new students and will be required annually.
