WEB and WEB Leaders

WEB is a program that welcomes the seventh grade class at an orientation prior to the start of school and continues to support them throughout their first year at 7/8. A select group of eighth grade students will serve as WEB Leaders.

WEB Leaders are students who are positive role models, possess leadership qualities, kind, responsible, and most importantly, have a desire to give back to his/her school community.

WEB Leaders will be given the responsibility of managing and instructing a small group of 10 seventh graders on Orientation Day. They will be working with another leader to guide students through a series of activities; these are done to allow the WEB Leaders and seventh graders to get to know each other better, as well as provide the Leaders the opportunity to pass on some valuable information about being successful in middle school.

In addition to Orientation Day, WEB Leaders will also be called upon to support seventh graders throughout the year in a variety of ways including calling his/her seventh grade group to check in, connecting with them during the school day, attending social events specifically designed for seventh graders and WEB Leaders as well as being available as a mentor for the seventh graders should the situation arise.

Students may apply to be WEB Leader at the end of their seventh grade year.
