Resources for Parents

The National Middle School Association.  www.nmsa.org  Parents can search for different topics devoted to middle school education.

www.middleweb.com  This site provides a lot of information for teachers, but also is easy to use for parents.  Just search for topics that concern you and you’ll find lots of resources. 

www.education.com is a website that provides a tab for preteen information that parents of young adolescents can use to get good information.

www.familyeducation.com is another great site to get information from. 

The Center for the Prevention of School Violence has some links for information about different topics related to the health and wellness of young adolescents. http://www.ncdjjdp.org/cpsv/parent_resources.html

The Illinois State Board of Education website has links for parents and students.  http://www.isbe.state.il.us/default.htm

If there are any other sites you found helpful, let me know and I’ll add them to the list.  There are so many sites out there that can help parents it would be impossible to list them all, but we can share what was useful.  Thank you!
