8th grade Student Advocacy Session (designed for students): In this session, the focus is on ‘’WHY” and “HOW” to advocate (ask for help or support) given that high school is right around the corner. Some topics that will be discussed are communicating in this virtual world with teachers/staff, strategies for coping and thriving, knowing high school/class options, thinking about a post high school plan, etc. while feeling confident in the high school transition process.
