What is WEB?

“WEB is a middle school transition program that welcomes 6th/7th graders and makes them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their middle school experience. Built on the belief that students want to and can help other students succeed, the WEB transition program trains members of the 8th grade class to be WEB Leaders. As positive role models, WEB leaders are motivators, leaders and teachers who guide 6th/7th graders to discover what it takes to be successful in middle school. "
