The transition to Middle School is exciting and at times, challenging. The goal of this online seminar is to equip students with skills to be successful in Middle School and encourage parents to be active partners in this journey. Amy Fowler and Grace Carruth, two Bear Creek teachers, will touch on topics such as problem solving, self-advocacy, time management, and organization.
Intended audience: families with children in grades 5 through 8.
