MIDDLE SCHOOL SURVIVAL HANDBOOK

http://www.jefferson.k12.ky.us/Pubs/welcome.html

Developed by Louisville's Middle School Coalition for students and parents

in the Jefferson County (KY) Public Schools, this colorful 32-page booklet

covers school etiquette, making friends, handling bullies, gangs, hosting

and attending parties, coping with peer pressure, eating disorders, drugs

and alcohol, depression -- even body piercing. One section outlines the

district's performance standards and student expectations; another

describes the "Eight Habits of Highly Successful Middle School Students."

Includes both student and parent tips. PDF format. [The JCPS Middle School

Guide (2 mg) is also available for downloading at this page.]
