Milford Schools Foundation
Milford Schools Foundation is proud sponsor of the new WEB program.
What is WEB? WEB, which stands for "Where Everybody Belongs" is a middle school orientation and 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 can help students succeed, the program trains mentors from your 8th grade class to be WEB leaders. As positive role models, WEB Leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the 6th/7th graders to discover what it takes to be successful during the transition to middle school and help facilitate 6th/7th grade success.
WEB acts as an anti-bullying program by providing it with a cadre of student leaders who look for bullying behavior and help stop it. WEB gives older students permission to be aware of and report any negative behavior they see, creating a safer school for everybody.
WEB is a yearlong transition program with four components that contribute to its success:
Middle School Orientation - WEB Leaders and 6th/7th graders start building the mentor relationship and receive information about how to be successful in middle school.
Academic Follow Ups - WEB Leaders support 6th/7th grade academic success and character development through classroom visits.
Social Follow Ups - WEB Leaders and 6th/7th graders connect outside the classroom at social events to increase student engagement and promote positive school climate.
Leader Initiated Contacts - WEB Leaders connecct with their 6th graders on a more individual basis.
WEB leaders for Milford are Jen Bruce, Jenna Chambers, and Julie Bellman. They are very excited to to provide students with a structure in which students make real connections with each other thus increasing school safety and reducing incidence of bullying. Through this program, students learn that people at school care about them and their success. WEB is the middle school transition program that will increase student achievement, enhance character development efforts and create an anti-bullying environment at our school.
