Mike Ellson discusses action steps that will assist students and families to transition from middle school to high school. He recommends that high school coaches reach out to incoming freshman in the hallways by introducing themselves and starting a dialogue that will help these students feel more comfortable in a new setting. Create a Big Brother & Sister program that reaches out to middle school and elementary school students. Building trust and relationships are key for students and their parents for making a successful transition.
