Dear Parents,
Thank you for a great year at Webb Bridge Middle School. We are very fortunate
to have dedicated teachers and school personnel, wonderful students who are
eager to learn, and terrific parent and community support. This has indeed been
a memorable year. Receiving the National Schools to Watch (Georgia Lighthouse)
award is an affirmation to the Webb Bridge community of the outstanding
accomplishments of our students and staff.
Please remember to encourage your child to read for at least 30 minutes each day
during the summer vacation. Encourage a variety of books, magazines, newspapers,
comic books, etc. Trips to the library are a treat that should take place all
summer long.
All of us at Webb Bridge look forward to the opportunity to prepare our students
to meet an unknown future with confidence and enthusiasm during the next school
year next fall. Have a great summer break, relax, and enjoy spending time with
family and friends.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Fogartie, Principal
Farewell
We would like to bid a fond farewell to two of our WBMS teachers as they retire
this year. Anne Daly, an eighth grade teacher, has been with WBMS since August,
1996 and Donna Walker, a French teacher, has been with Fulton County since
September, 1970. We appreciate their dedication to teaching. We wish both of
these wonderful women a very happy retirement.

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.
The purpose of the Affidavit is to make sure that only
students who reside in Fulton County attend Fulton County schools. Because of Fulton’s reputation as
one of the best school systems in Georgia, some families living outside of Fulton attendance zones
have found creative ways to enroll their children in Fulton schools. These families take advantage of
Fulton’s outstanding programs and services, yet do not pay the taxes used to fund schools. The notarized Affidavit legally verifies that all
children reside in their correct school attendance zone, or have an approved transfer.
Click here and you will be redirected to Fulton County Schools' main
web page to download the most current affidavit form.
