WEB (Where Everybody Belongs)
WEB is a part of every 6th grader’s first year at Angevine Middle School and affects all of our students as well. WEB is an orientation and transition program that is used by over 200 schools in the United States and all of the middle schools in the Boulder Valley School District. Schools using these programs report higher attendance, fewer discipline problems and referrals, improved school climate, and a belief that student academic achievement is higher. Angevine is very committed to a positive and emotionally safe environment for everyone and WEB is a large component of that.
The focus of the WEB Program is to link upper-class students (8th graders) with students in transition (6th graders and new students). The program welcomes everybody into the school and provides connections to activities, academics, and the people who can be positive role models and influences. The real core of the program is to allow successful older students to teach the incoming younger students the culture of the school. Our group of 8th grade WEB Leaders will guide the incoming 6th graders so each of them will feel like he/she belongs and feels comfortable being a member of our school and school culture. WEB also uses an individual mentor program for students that need more help with their middle school adjustment, AND offers a program to help our parent’s transitions, (6th Grade Parent Night sponsored by WEB).
