According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary,
grit,
in the context of behavior, is defined as “firmness of character; indomitable spirit.” There are many keys to success in school and in life, but grit may be at the top. This character trait is seen over and over again in the people of our school community. We handle adversity with toughness and love, and together we overcome.
We should be proud of the way our school community came together these past weeks and of the lessons we have taught our children. These lessons will help them to be successful in school this year, and into the future! I am excited to see our students back at Webb Middle School, as I am truly moved by their optimism, confidence, and creativity. Together, we will have a great year!
~ Casey Campbell,
Principal

We are excited to start the new school year and reconnecting with familiar faces and get to know all of the new faces joining us at Webb. As school counselors, we are here for you and your students to assist with academic, career, social, and emotional needs. Please feel free to contact us by phone, email, or in person anytime you feel we could be helpful.
This section of the newsletter is called Counselors’ Corner.
Throughout the year, we hope to provide you with various ideas, thoughts, information and strategies you can use with your middle schoolers.
We will also communicate important current events or scheduling information with you via this newsletter.
To start the school year, we thought it would be helpful to have a few reminders about some of the changes you may see in your middle schooler as he/she continues to mature:
Transitioning to Middle School Challenges for Middle School Students:
• Physical, emotional, and intellectual changes
• Testing the limits
• Going from a single teacher to many different teachers
• Making new friends
• Peer pressure
• Struggling with their identity and seeking out independence.
Tips for Parents:
• Be patient with attitudes – they change by the day or the hour!
• Set clear, consistent expectations for behavior, academics, and communication
• Allow children some independent thought and space to express themselves, within reason
• Model and teach your child good judgment
• Talk with your child: ask questions, listen and give
praise
• Engage your child in a variety of activities in and out of school
Your School Counselors,

Universal Free School Breakfast
Universal Free School Breakfast Program is available to all students at the Webb Middle School every school day. No advanced registration is necessary. These supervised meals are nutritionally balanced and vary daily. School Breakfast is an ideal solution for busy mornings when kids are running late or parents have early work schedules. Oftentimes, kids are not hungry when they first wake up but are ready to eat when school begins. Studies have shown that children who eat a nutritious breakfast have better behavior, better attendance, and improved test scores.
