Getting middle schoolers ready for the transition to high school can be easier than expected. Getting and staying involved with your child’s high school education will ensure their success. The ever increasing demands on entering freshmen grows each year. Here are some tips to help your child:

Keep a close eye on how well your child is managing his  or her workload.

Help your child improve study skills to meet the demands of high school.

Start preparing early. Don't wait until the night before to get organized. Create a folder at the beginning of the year in which you store test scores, big homework assignments, and your notes (about things your child has told you or any other topics you want to address).

Talk to your child. Ask how she's doing in class, what's going on during lunchtime, recess, and when she goes to special classes like music or gym. "You want to find out both the positive and negative," says Rozea. If you don't like what you're hearing, investigate. Talk to other parents to see if their children are expressing similar concerns. "You need to find out whether your child is perceiving everything accurately or if she's misunderstanding a situation," she says.
