W.E.B. Leadership

Where Everyone Belongs

WEB is a middle school orientation and transition program that welcomes our 6th graders and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their middle school experience. Built on the belief that students can help students succeed, the program trains mentors from our 8th grade class to be WEB Leaders. As positive role models, WEB Leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide our 6th graders to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to middle school and help facilitate 6th grade success.

WEB is a year-long transition program with four components that contribute to its success:

  • Middle School Orientation - WEB Leaders and 6th graders start building the mentor relationship and receive information about how to be successful in middle school

  • Academic Follow Up - WEB Leaders support 6th grade academic success and character development through classroom visits

  • Social Follow Up - WEB Leaders and 6th graders connect outside the classroom at social events to increase student engagement and promote positive school climate

  • Leader Initiated Contacts - WEB Leaders connect with their 6th graders on a more individual basis to continue that one-on-one bond
