Parent Involvement at the Middle School Level is Crucial Moving from elementary school to middle school is an adjustment for students and parents alike. There are usually more teachers to get to know, a more complicated schedule to understand, and kids can be embarrassed about parent involvement. But these changes are no reason for parents to stop working with the school. It is just as important as ever for parents to stay involved. Here are ways to do this:
Meet your child's teachers Introduce yourself as soon as possible instead of waiting until problems arise.
Get to know the school counselors School counselors are a great resource and support to students and families. Counselors are in charge of student schedules, individual/small group academic and mental health supports.
Read about the school At the beginning of the year, schools often give parents information aboutrules and curriculum. If you didn't receive these materials, ask for them.
