[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is a 6th grader at Deal. She’s having a wonderful year. It’s a big school so there may be some teams, groups, etc that have issues but she’s reported nothing alarming.

She does not require any accommodations, so I have no experience with that, but I’ve found that moving from elementary to middle school has been tougher for me than for her. She’s expected to show independence, be organized and in charge of her own experience in a way that she hasn’t been before. And she has risen to the challenge! She’s doing great and learning lots of life skills. I’ve had to learn to let go of a lot of control. It’s been good for both of us.

We came from a non-feeder school so she has had to make all new friends. Luckily, she’s found a good group and she’s doin fine there.  Be sure to encourage your child to reach out beyond their elementary school friends. [/quote]

Thank you so much! She definitely will reach out to make new friends. She has friends from other sports she is in. You're not hearing about any classroom disruptions or fights in 6th? It sounds like if there is a problem, it's grade based, perhaps.[/quote]
