Daniel Webster Middle Home

Mission

Daniel Webster Middle School and S.T.E.A.M. Magnet Center exist to provide a 21st-century education to all students based on the principles of creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. We provide a teaching and learning environment that values respect, responsibility, honesty, safety, life-long learning, and an appreciation of differences. Our enriched multi-disciplinary academic program allows students to culminate with the ability to transfer knowledge between all disciplines, and creates a bridge to any pathway of interest they choose to pursue.
 

Principal Bell's Message

Dear Daniel Webster Middle School Families,
 
I hope you have had a chance to recharge, relax, and read an amazing novel this summer.  I am honored and humbled to return to Daniel Webster as your Principal for the 2026-2027 school year. As we kick off this new academic year, I want to emphasize the importance of Attendance, Wellness, and Instruction for all students. We will continue to implement the LAUSD District Strategic Plan to ensure student success. You can review our district strategic plan using this link https://sites.google.com/lausd.net/lausdstrategicplan/home
The first day of the new school year begins on Wednesday, August 12, 2026 @ 7:55 am. All of us at Daniel Webster are looking forward to a successful year of learning, growth, and collaboration. Our Paxton-Patterson Lab continues to expand and will further support our STEAM curriculum. We are also excited to embrace the French Academy, continuing to offer the first on-site middle school French Dual Language Program in all of LAUSD!
I'm extending a warm welcome to all new and returning students and families! I am excited and looking forward to seeing everyone on August 12th at 7:55 am. Please ensure our students arrive at Webster MS on time with a charged device every day, and keep cell phones away during instruction. Please feel free to contact me at 310-235-4600 or via email at [email protected]. As your principal, I welcome your comments, suggestions, and collaboration to support learning and school site growth.
We will continue hosting monthly 'Coffee with the Principal' sessions for parents, guardians, and the community, which will support collaboration and provide updates from our Every School Safe Platform called "WE ARE ONE". Please take a moment to view the resources available for all families. The LAUSD 2026 WE ARE ONE website  https://www.lausd.org/weareone 
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, I want to emphasize the importance of cultivating joy, a safe school community, and employing the best educational practices for our students’ success. Together, we will work diligently to create a safe and conducive environment for all learners.  
Enjoy the remainder of your summer break and don’t forget to indulge in a good book during your spare time!
 
Welcome Back, Senator Owls!
 
Warm regards,
Ms. Tasha Bell  
Principal  
Daniel Webster Middle School
