Your middle school child will have to master new skills in the coming months. Middle school is organized differently from elementary school. Your child will be part of an academic team and will have a different teacher for each subject.
Students have to learn to keep track of assignments for each class.
They complete many projects during class time, often in groups, rather than at home with parental assistance. This design helps develop the independence they will need for high school success. Your role as the parent or guardian of a middle school student will be different than it was when your child was younger. Middle school means you have to learn to communicate with a team of teachers. As students enter adolescence, many parents find it harder to get information about school events and activities, and learn to increase their reliance on the TPMS PTA and the TPMS web site as ways to get information.
