[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been happy with Swanson. My DC is a 7th grader and the kids are broken up into teams. I feel that the teacher's know my kid and are supportive. I got contacted a lot at the beginning of the year when assignments weren't turned in on time, etc. Less so now as things have stabilized.

[b]My advice is ask for the homeroom teacher (TA, STAR, whatever it's called at the school) be one of the core class teachers. T[/b]his makes a huge difference as they meet daily and it's nice for your child to have a teacher that knows them. [/quote]

Ditto.  We're at TJ but the team approach is the same at all the middle schools.  My son had a much better adjustment to 6th grade with one of his core class teachers as TA.  My daughter's 6th transition was really difficult in part because her TA was a long-term sub in a non-core class so she 1) never saw DD outside of TA and 2) had no idea herself about processes/procedure/etc. so she was useless as a resource.  We ended up having DD meet with the school counselor for help.[/quote]
