Webb Parents Association
About the Webb Parents Association
The Webb Parents Association (WPA) is looking forward to the coming school year and would like to take this opportunity to welcome the students of the incoming Class of 2014, their parents and families!
Organized in 2008, the WPA’s mission is “to promote participation of parents and families to enrich the Webb experience through communication and support in keeping with the institution’s traditions, goals and standards of excellence.” Currently, the organization is working to raise needed funds to renovate the freshman dining room. New lighting, an exterior door and wood paneled wainscoting are planned to replicate the main dining hall and enhance the freshmen dining experience.
Parents new to Webb are invited to learn more about the school and the WPA by visiting the WPA Yahoo group site, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Webb_Institute, which includes WPA meeting minutes and by-laws, photos, a discussion board, and information about the school and the surrounding community, and Winter Work. Currently the site has eighty-eight members, and all parents are encouraged to join.
