Transition Time Counselor Led Small Group
Every year through our office we offer support for our 6th grade students with their transition to middle school. We host a small group that meets during Tutorial time a couple of times a week throughout the month of October (that way the kids don’t miss any core class time). We focus on things like connection to Lakeview (involvement in clubs, intramurals, etc), relationship building, friendship skills, organization and time management. This is a common group we have so we can support and get to know your kids better.😊 We want to make their transition to middle school as smooth as possible. If you feel your child could benefit from this group, please click on this link to sign your child up.
Thank you for your partnership!
