Programs

The structure of the WEB program guides 6th graders to academic and social success by reducing the initial challenges of entering middle school. WEB creates an environment where 6th graders feel cared for and supported by creating an atmosphere free of bullying, intimidation, and fear while replacing it with support, connection, and a sense of comfort and belonging. With WEB students help students succeed by using older students as peer mentors for 6th graders. WEB leaders are members of the 8th grade class who go through extensive training to become positive role models, motivator, and teachers.

The Signs of Suicide Program teaches students how to identify the signs of depression and suicide in themselves and their peers. Through a video, guided discussion, and brief screening for depression, students are encouraged to ACT (Acknowledge, Care, Tell) when worried about themselves or a friend.  

The WCMS School Counselors in partnership provide the SOS program each year.
