e-Books: Transitioning to Middle School/High School

Are your students nervous about making the transition from elementary to middle school, or middle school to high school? Or perhaps they’re excited, but just unsure of what, exactly, to expect. Each transition takes students to a new level of responsibility and expectations—as well as great opportunities and experiences.

To help ease these transitions, S4 is offering two complimentary e-books: S4’s Successfully Transitioning to Middle School and S4’s Successfully Transitioning to High School.

In each guide, parents and students will learn about key skills that will help students succeed in a new school:

- Self-Advocacy

- Active Learning

Each book also includes the reflections of a graduate of Staples High School in Westport, Conn., as she enumerates what she wished she knew upon entering both middle school and high school.

The strategies are adapted from S4’s popular study-skills workshops, which will run this month in Connecticut and Westchester County. The workshops offer a more in-depth approach to studying, note-taking, time management, project management, and self-advocacy.

More information about the workshops can be found at www.s4studyskills.com/Upcoming_Workshops.html.
