Navigating the Middle School Years
Parenting a child, especially a middle schooler, can be both challenging and rewarding as children navigate significant academic, social, and emotional changes. It's crucial to maintain open lines of communication, actively listening and validating their feelings. Establishing consistent routines and clear expectations that will help provide a sense of security. Encourage independence by allowing your child to make choices and learn from their experiences, fostering resilience. Stay engaged with their academic progress and social interactions, offering support without overstepping. Utilize positive discipline techniques, focusing on teaching rather than punishment. Remember, your involvement and support play a vital role in their development and success during these transformative years.

Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
Missing 10 percent (or about 18 days) can make it harder to learn to read.
Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two days every few weeks.
Being late to school may lead to poor attendance.
Absences can affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help children catch up.
What you can do?
What you can do?
Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
Do not stay home unless you are truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomach ache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home.
If you are feeling anxious about going to school, talk to your teachers, school counselor, or another trusted adult for advice on how to feel comfortable and excited about learning.
Avoid medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session.
Parent Conferences
Home-school collaboration is a vital part of a child's educational success. School counselors lead parent-teacher conferences in the mornings from 8:40am-9:10am either virtually or face-to-face. It is highly recommended that students attend the conferences. Please contact your child's teacher(s) to try to resolve any issues before requesting a conference.
