WEB
WEB is an acronym that stands for Where Everybody Belongs! WEB is a program lead by 8th graders and WEB's main goal is to welcome incoming 6th graders to the Hidden River community. WEB leaders provide all sorts of help to the new 6th graders — from curing first day jitters and figuring out lockers, to tackling bigger issues, like bullying, and planning for success in middle school.
As the school year goes on, WEB leaders stop by 6th grade Foundations and play fun games with 6th graders as well as act as mentors.
WEB leaders also help the Hidden River community. Throughout the year WEB leaders help out new students who transfer to our school, and also lead tours for students considering joining the Hidden River community.
How do you become a WEB leader?
WEB leaders are just that…leaders! First off WEB leaders have to be in 8th grade. To become a WEB leader students apply in April/May of their 7th grade year. They are then interviewed by one of the WEB coordinators. Leaders are chosen by the WEB coordinators based on their leadership ability, behavior, and overall excitement for making the Hidden River community a better place.
WEB coordinators are Mr. Bailey and Mr. Graf.
Currently WEB is taught as an Elective Class and a Foundations. WEB leaders also participate in the normal Foundations curriculum.
