quickly, but they need adult support.

•  Encourage your child to be honest. 

•  Be positive for your child.

Behavior •  Students experience a decrease in achievement from middle school to high school. 

•  Behavior problems, suspensions and expulsions appear to increase significantly early in the ninth grade year.

Grades •  One of the biggest concerns is the decline in grades. 

•  When middle school students take part in a high school transition program with new teachers and several activities, it’s easier for them to get used to the level.

Academic load •  Students' greatest concerns revolved around the amount of homework, class difficulty, and organizational issues.

Activities •  It’s very important to celebrate activities in which both levels are involved. 

•  Challenges such as the Intellectual competition and English “Jeopardy” are perfect examples.

Communication • Supportive school environments and transition programs facilitate communication between students, educators and administration. 

• Parents should not lose communication with teachers or principal.

Time management 

•  Time management and organizational skills are everything when you want to get good grades. These are essential elements for success.
