Middle School

Newsletter guides for grades 6-8 teachers, counselors, and administrators

Middle school families are harder to reach than elementary parents, and most middle school communication strategies do not account for that. Students start filtering what gets home. Parents start feeling less welcome at school. The articles here address that gap directly. You will find guides for middle school teachers trying to maintain parent relationships across six classes, for counselors managing the social-emotional turbulence of grades 6-8, and for administrators communicating the transition from elementary to secondary culture. There are also resources for communicating about things that are harder in middle school: discipline, academic struggles, peer conflict, and puberty-related policies.

Common questions

How do I get middle school parents to read newsletters?

Email them directly, not through their student. Subject lines that reference their specific child's grade and teacher get more opens than school-wide blasts. Middle school parents have not stopped caring. They have stopped being reminded that they are welcome.

What should a middle school newsletter include?

Assignment deadlines and upcoming tests belong at the top. Families of 7th graders are getting communications from six different teachers. A single newsletter that consolidates what is due this week, from one reliable source, gets read. General school culture updates come second.

How do I communicate about a behavioral incident in middle school?

Call first, then follow up in writing. Middle school behavior issues often involve social dynamics that are hard to summarize in an email. A phone call lets you gauge the parent's reaction before the written record exists. Send the follow-up email to confirm what was discussed, not to break the news.
