NJSP Helps Students Cross “Bridge” Between Elementary, Middle School
The North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation is trying something new in an effort to help elementary school students acclimate to the changes as they prepare to enter middle school. NJSP held a class this summer for students to help them “cross the bridge” from elementary to middle school.
According to Venita Cunningham, Title I director for the corporation, said “The Bridge” involved reviewing academic expectations and learning new skills to help students prepare for middle school. She said once a week students visited the middle school, where they would meet with school faculty, tour the building, practice locker skills and hear tips from middle-school students to gain an insider’s perspective. Yesterday, students finished the course with a scavenger hunt in the middle school building.
