"Where Everyone Belongs" (WEB) is a middle school orientation and transition program. It's designed to help incoming 6th graders feel more comfortable and to help them achieve success in their first year of middle school. The program trains mentors from 8th grade to guide and support the newcomers. These mentors are trained to facilitate team building, to help with academic success, and to help with the overall transition to middle school.
