2024-2025 Academic Planning
Attention Future Spartans!
Tuesday, January 9th: Sossaman Middle School Open House
If you missed our Open House, please feel free to view our presentation below!
WEB "Where Everybody Belongs"
WEB, "Where Everybody Belongs", is our middle school transition and mentoring program. Built on the belief that students help students succeed, WEB trains mentors from 8th grade to be WEB leaders on our campus. As positive role models, WEB leaders help guide all incoming 7th grade students in discovering what it takes to be successful during the transition to middle school.
WEB hosts an Orientation the week before school begins for our incoming students. This event is for students only and is facilitated by our student WEB leaders and WEB staff leaders. During the orientation, our incoming Spartans will learn about school policies and procedures, familiarize themselves with the campus, and participate in many fun team-building activities with a focus on developing friendships and support groups with fellow Spartans. This fun event ends with a social gathering where students can eat lunch and continue building their friendships. We encourage all incoming Spartans to attend WEB orientation to help increase their familiarity with all things Spartan Nation and ease any possible concerns middle school might bring in the transition to middle school.
More details will be added to this page regarding date and time for WEB orientation.
