How can I help my child adjust to Middle School?

Answer:  Change for a young adolescent can be a difficult experience. There are several opportunities for your student to become comfortable with the Middle School.  They will visit Hixson at the end of their 6^th grade year to tour the building and meet some key people that are important to their school day. We also offer a transition class as part of the summer school curriculum.  In addition the incoming 7^th grade students will visit Hixson right before school starts to walk their schedule and become more familiar with the building.
