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.]
