Weddington Middle School Newsletter

UCPS is changing the online payment provider to SchoolCash Online. It is a secure way to pay using Visa, Mastercard, eCheck and Apple Pay (coming soon). To make this process easier, SchoolCash Online will email an invitation on behalf of the UCPS to the primary guardian’s email address from PowerSchool to create an account. For those who have an account created already but haven’t linked their student to their account, they will receive an automated “Accept” email from SchoolCash Online to add each unlinked student – assuming the email addresses match up. The primary guardians can then share and manage their student’s account. Email Invitations will expire within 30 days of receipt.

This year, Black History Month focuses on "African Americans and the Arts" spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual arts, music, cultural movements, and more.

Witness the enduring mark Black artists have made on American art through more than two centuries of Black art in this tour of the National Gallery of Art.

This week Ms. Griffin’s homeroom moved into first place in our school wide competition. Her homeroom has a huge lead at 27,850 pop tabs. Mrs. Aycock’s homeroom is in second place with 19,001 and Mrs. Chirico’s homeroom is in third place with 13,400 pop tabs.

Mr. Foley’s homeroom has moved up to first place for the 7th grade with 8,016 pop tabs. Mrs. Bentley is now in second place for 7th grade with 6,528.

In 6th grade, Ms. Helms’s homeroom moved into first place with 9,750 pop tabs. Mrs. Hollingsworth is now in second place for 6th grade with 6,060 tabs.

Remember, we still have two weeks left to collect those pop tabs. This means there is still plenty of time to compete for that dress down day and pizza party!

Here are the updated grand totals for each grade level:
6th grade: 35,756
7th grade: 47,876
8th grade: 129,893

After three weeks of collecting pop tabs, the WMS Grand Total is now 213,525 pop tabs!

Wow, Wildcats! Let’s continue bringing in those pop tabs to support this worthy cause!
