Join us online on Saturday, February 7, 2026, for our Family Empowerment Series training "Transitions: Elementary School to Middle School."
In this session, we will gain a deeper understanding of how special education supports change or stay the same as students begin their middle school years. More importantly, you will learn practical strategies to help your students adapt to their new environments and navigate the changes that come with it! While this transition is specific to elementary and middle school parents and caregivers, we recommend this session to families with students of all ages!
We will cover important topics such as
- What to expect (what will be different from elementary to middle school),
- How to prepare,
- Frequently asked questions and advice, and
- Additional supports and services to guide you and your student throughout your transition.
