Below is a great handout for FAMILIES and STUDENTS about the transition from elementary to middle school.

Topics covered for FAMILIES include: school transition, social and emotional changes, organizational and environmental factors, academics, developmental growth, college and career readiness and becoming involved in your student’s education.

Topics covered for STUDENTS include: moving up to middle school, making new friends, having time for everything, classes and grades, growing and changing, what I want to be when I grow up, and how to become involved in your school.

I am excited to announce that I have accepted a school counselor position at Mickle Middle School. I have loved every second of my time at LSW and I will miss the staff and students very much! Email me at nhansel@lps.org if you have any questions.

Have a great summer!
