[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me to understand what middle school at APS looks like...I'm assuming they switch classes? Do they have teams..ie a couple of teachers to a "team" that the kids switch classes between (this is how I did it growing up) How heavily do they rely on ipads/or chrome books? Do they have text books?

I ask because we have a 4th grader with adhd who struggles with executive functioning, academics and is addicted to screens. [/quote]

I suggest you join your future middle schools PTA and visit the school. If your child has an IEP or 504, talk with your IEP team and the middle school counselors. Middle school is middle school. Yes, they switch classrooms. Yes, they are often on "teams" so that the same sub-set of students are mostly with the same team of teachers and the teachers on each team collaborate with each other.  All of APS is increasingly device-leaning with zero or few textbooks in hardcover form.

But you really should wait until she's at least in 5th grade. Teachers and counselors are busy with their actual current students.[/quote]
