From Assistant Superintendent Nichole Allen:

Welcome to an exciting and important chapter in your child’s educational journey! As the Assistant Superintendent for Student Support Services, I want you to know that our entire team is here to ensure that every middle school student feels supported, seen, and ready to succeed inside and outside the classroom.

Middle school is a time of incredible growth, exploration, and discovery. Our department is dedicated to helping students develop academically, socially, and emotionally. We provide various supports, including counseling services, social-emotional learning, college and career exploration, wellness resources, and programs that promote equity and inclusivity.

We are also deeply committed to creating safe, welcoming school environments where all students feel a sense of belonging. Whether your child is learning how to manage new responsibilities, building friendships, or starting to think about the future, we are here to guide and support every step of the way.

Families play a vital role in student success, and we are grateful for your partnership. Please do not hesitate to contact your school's support staff or our district team with any questions or concerns.

Middle school can be a confusing time for parents and their kids. Your child is becoming more independent, yet still needs your support as much as ever. While you may allow your child more autonomy in some areas, stay actively involved in your child’s school. Research shows that children whose parents are engaged in their education are more likely to achieve academic success. Here are some tips for getting involved in your child’s middle school learning experience.
