Leader Application 2015 What is WEB & what do WEB Leaders do? • • • • ! WEB stands for Where Everyone Belongs. WEB Leaders go through extensive (and very fun) training to work with the incoming 6th graders to help support them in their transition to Del Mar. WEB Leaders will help run 6th grade orientation and will meet with the 6th graders throughout the school year to touch base, discuss problems and lead fun activities. Being a WEB Leader is a year-long commitment— WEB Leaders support each other and the 6th graders from the first day of school until the last. Who are WEB Leaders? • • • • • • Positive members of the Del Mar community Good role models who are interested in helping others Strong communicators and leaders Respectful, responsible and on-time Willing to take risks Enthusiastic and want to have FUN!

A Note to Parents: In order to have the most effective program possible, we have a series of mandatory trainings that WEB leaders must attend. Please be sure these dates work into your family’s summer schedule before submitting this application. WEB leaders will be given the responsibility of managing and instructing a small group of 8-10 sixth graders on Orientation Day in a series of activities; these are done in an effort for the WEB leaders and sixth graders to get to know each other better as well as allow the WEB leaders the opportunity to pass on some valuable information about being successful in middle school. In addition to Orientation Day, WEB leaders will spend some of their regular advisory/study hall time to train for and lead academic and social activities in 6th grade advisories. Our desire is to offer support for the sixth grade class as well as help each WEB leader develop his/her full leadership potential. We appreciate your support of our efforts. “Why I Would Make a Great WEB Leader.” Please read about the expectations of being part of the WEB program on the other side of this paper. Then write a paragraph describing how your qualities and characteristics as well as life experiences will make you an excellent addition to the WEB program. Although you are not being graded and spelling does not count, please write neatly and answer honestly and thoroughly. __________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________ Students: I understand the commitments of being a WEB Leader for the 2015-2016 school year and will try my best to fulfill the expectations of a WEB Leader.
