Managing the Ups and Downs of Middle School

Topics: Middle Level, Family and Stakeholder Engagement

The changes children experience as they transition from elementary school to middle school are seismic—and it takes continued support from both school and home to help them succeed. Parents are the most influential people in their kids’ lives. In this Report to Parents, you’ll find strategies to help families better understand the unique mind and emotions of the middle school student to help them stay excited about learning and excel in the classroom and outside of it. Share it with your school families.
