WHAT IS WEB

WEB is a sixth grade transition program Preparation – This begins with WEB Leader visits and information

getting out to the fifth graders and their parents in the spring. Orientation - WEB orientation is phenomenal! Students are

welcomed and wow-ed. The orientation is opening and closing assemblies and a small group session of 10 students led by a WEB Leader.

Yearlong support – The same WEB Leader that led the new students on orientation day will provide so9cial and academic support throughout the school year.

WEB is a Leadership training program Eighth graders were trained in team building activities, cooperative

skill development, and discussion skills.

WEB is a school community building program The school climate will change because of WEB based on a simple

concept: Connecting sixth graders with successful eighth graders. While creating a sense of comfort for the incoming students, the WEB concept also addresses the attitudes of the eighth graders toward the sixth graders, and respect for sixth graders becomes the norm.
