WEB Leaders
WEB, which stands for "Where Everyone Belongs", is a middle school orientation and transition program that welcomes 6th Graders and makes them feel comfortable throughout their first year of the middle school experience.
Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, the program trains 8th Graders to be WEB Leaders. As positive role models, WEB leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the 6th Graders to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to middle school and help facilitate 6th-grade success.
In particular, WEB leaders run the 6th Grade orientation each year before the start of the school year.
WEB Leaders also assist with morning announcements and 6th-grade Advisory lessons, and volunteer at other school-related functions throughout the year, including Back-to-School Night, Parent-Teacher Conferences, and 6th Grade Welcome Night.
WEB Leaders are eighth-grade students selected through an application process at the end of their seventh-grade year. We are looking for creative people who want to document our school's events for the year!
There is no participation cost.
Meetings are varied in timing and format and advance notice is given to the group members.
