I am sorry to report that this will be the last year for WEB. The program has been in place for over 20 years, but due to the change in schedule next year, we will not have a time slot to do it. I appreciate all the support of the teachers and students, especially the leaders, as we helped many 6th graders adjust to middle school. We will run some of the ideas through summer school. If your child has not signed up for Jumpstart Summer School program, please do so! It will be run differently to accommodate some of the activities.
Thanks again for all the support for this program!

WEB Leaders are now assigned committees to make a difference at ESMS. We have many committees such as bulletin board/decorations, teacher incentives, LC improvement, Kindness/No Bullying Committee, and more. We are also now assisting with second breakfast and the Lost and Found. The students are excited to be making a difference and leaving their mark as these students are 8th graders.

For our last and final WEB meeting we completed some winter holiday puzzles. The WEB Leaders were sad that it would be their final meeting. We will not be meeting in second semester. WEB Leaders will continue to build their leadership skills by working on committees to improve ESMS. We met and the committes have been filled. Looking forward to working with these leaders to continue building their skills. If a sixth grader needs the leader, they will be available to meet with them.
WEB UPDATE: November 14. 2023
Leaders are meeting with 6th graders until semester. We will have 4 more meetings and we are planning to make them as fun as possible. The sixth graders seem to enjoy their visits with the leaders and the leaders enjoy planning and implementing the activities with the students. The leaders are kind of sad and will miss the students. They will be doing checks throughout second semester.
The Leaders will begin working on projects to improve ESMS during second semester. They are interviewing principals, counselor, and more to get ideas on how to make the most impact ! I look forward to seeing where this leads us. The goal is to show the leaders how to make a difference in the "community".

WEB Update
WEB is moving right along this year. It is hard to believe we are almost finished with first quarter. We have done a bunch of getting to know you and team building activities. The leaders are doing an amazing job of adapting activities and helping students adjust to middle school life.
We have new activities planned. We will meet during first semester with the sixth graders and then in second semester we will do some projects to improve ESMS! These leaders are working hard and I appreciate all they are doing for ESMS and our students.

WEB looks a little different this year. It is an Encore class and takes place first hour. The leaders will go to classrooms on Mondays and Fridays to assist teachers with the lessons to introduce our sixth graders to the Middle School. On Tuesdays they will train for the activities that will happen on Wednesdays and Thursdays. ELA and Social Studies classes will go on Wednesdays and Science and Math classes will go on Thursdays. They will meet in small groups to complete the activities. There are 25 WEB Leaders.
Next year WEB will look different due to the schedule change. WEB will be during Encore 1st hour. Students will be working with me and the sixth grade teachers. There will only be about 18 leaders next year. We are still working on details!
