One of the biggest changes you will experience moving into Middle School is that your child is moving from having one teacher with about 25 students in a class to six teachers who are responsible for about 100 students or more. Skyward becomes a critical tool for teachers to communicate with families/students about missing work, grades, and overall progress at the middle school level.
