MIDDLE SCHOOL TRANSITION

Middle school transition is a signifcant part of elementary school counseling programming.  This process starts in January, when 5th graders select their 6th grade middle school electives.  During second semester, Mrs. Click's counseling lessons target middle school readiness.  These exist in the areas of friendship and learning habits.  They include orientation to middle school environment.  We also provide space for the emotional processing associated with life change.  Mrs. Click facilitates middle school transition lunch bunches as well.  All 5th grade students are invited to participate in a lunch group with Mrs. Click where students can ask questions about middle school, practice opening combination locks, and attain support from peers.

In the spring, 5th graders have the opportunity to experience a Transition Day at their future middle school.  Mrs. Click and the 5th grade team will share information as it becomes available!
