Smooth the move to middle school

Will your child be starting middle school in the fall? To ease the move, begin to prepare now. Together, learn about the new school. Read its website regularly, and look for summer activities for rising middle schoolers, such as reading and orientation programs. At home, help your child keep up reading and math skills with frequent practice. Discuss your student's hopes and concerns about middle school, and make it clear you will support your child in this exciting next step.
