Webb Bridge Middle School

Webb Bridge Middle school is a feeder school for Alpharetta HIgh School. They are like two sisters raised by the same inept parent. My biggest issue is the lack of communication between staff and parents. I had kids in both schools and this was always a problem. My son was scheduled to get an award and the teacher called one time and did not leave a message. My son was the only student not represented by a parent I was LIVID! He did not attempt to contact me via e-​mail or through other means.
One year, they decided to go really cheap and change the photographer for the yearbook. It was tragic and the results were horrible. We weren’t able to even purchase a book that year. Again, there was no prior communication to parents and the change was unnecessary because the previous books were great.
The key to really getting information was to walk in and speak directly with the staff, but this was not always an option for all parents.
Fast forward, three days ago I began calling after 8am to ask a question regarding redistricting. After about the third call, no 7^th grade secretary or counselor was available. Don’t they usually start the day in their office getting prepared? Guess not. So I eventually, left a message requesting a call back and THREE DAYS LATER I still have not received a call. Nothing has changed. If nothing else they are consistent!
On the other hand, when I called Taylor MIddle School, the person answering the phone was not only able to give me the information I needed immediately, she then referred me to another source for additional information. She also took my name and number in case additional information became available later. Wow, now that is how it is done!
Dear Webb Bridge staff please spend some of those training days learning how to better communicate with your parents. Also, the person answering the phone should know more than just hello. Your students and their parents deserve better.
If nothing else: Aren’t you tired of always being second to Taylor?
Parents who are concerned about their kids being transferred to Taylor, think again. It might just be a step up.
