Weber STARS!
Many students and staff members at Weber Middle School go through their day being respectful and caring, helping those with crutches, holding doors for others, helping a student who has dropped their books, or saying a gracious, “thank you” to others. Once a month, those recognized for these little random acts of kindness by students and staff are awarded a Weber STAR.
Weber STARs are nominated by Weber staff and students once a month. A Weber STAR is a student or staff member that displays one or more of the following qualities: respect, responsibility, good character, commitment to community, academic improvement, effort, exemplary behavior, and/or sportsmanship.
Every Weber student or staff member has a chance to be a Weber STAR! A student or staff member can
nominate anyone they feel deserves the privilege of becoming a STAR. When nomination time arrives, students and staff members can write a note to Mrs. McAuliffe (sent via the homebase folder) or email (smcauliffe@portnet.k12.ny.us) and let her know that there is someone in the building who is deserving of the honor.
After staff consideration, all nominees are presented with a Weber STAR Blue Ribbon. Students and staff that receive the honor of being named a Weber STAR are notified during a special morning announcement whereby a Blue Ribbon of recognition is awarded during homebase. A congratulatory letter is also mailed to the family of the Weber STAR, and all STAR names are displayed prominently outside of the Principal’s office for the month of nomination.
