This week during our grade level group talks, we have been discussing setting goals and how to achieve them. We have discussed with students reflecting on the first semester and finding something each student wants to improve on during the second semester: grades, behavior, attendance, etc...
Please take some time to talk to your child about a goal they have for this semester and how they can achieve it!
Drumroll please........

MENTORING can help youth as they go through challenging life experiences, including dealing with stress at school, home, and through relationships with peers. Close, healthy, supportive relationships between mentors and mentees that last for a significant portion of time are central to success.
The Middle School Years are JUST PLAIN HARD. However, these years are also filled with important social and emotional learning and growth as kids begin to explore their identity, lear about friendship and how to navigate more complex social dynamics.
The Paris Middle School MENTORING program is back and will be starting up in January. COVID helped shut this program done by we are excited to open it back up and the need is REAL!
If you would like to be considered for becoming a mentor, please email Trey Prieur at tprieur@parisschools.org for more information.
