Parenting Middle School Students (First Tuesday of the month): Topics may include friendships and social dynamics, personality and independence, behavior and discipline, back talk and rude behavior, building resilience, developing responsibility, self-confidence, body image, emotion coaching, balancing homework and activities, puberty, adolescent brain development, and technology and social media.

***This course is intended for educational professionals and not available for members of the general public.*** South View is proud to share the great work of Edina Public Schools in carrying out its mission of being a dynamic learning community delivering educational excellence and preparing all students to realize their full potential. South View was one of eleven middle schools recognized as a School of Distinction by the Association for Middle Level Education. This distinction is a reflection of South View’s progressive work around developing agency and belonging for all learners. We will continue to be a model for what it looks like to be a responsive, challenging, empowering, equitable and engaging middle school. One of the ways we continue to grow is by hosting site visits. Sponsoring space and time for other sites and programs to learn and share effective practices builds on our teacher efficacy. There is so much value in learning in the context of an actual school day. Some schools come to see the flexible learning spaces, others want to see how daily flex time and advisory works, but all schools learn about instructional practices that put learners at the center so each and every student can reach their full potential and thrive. Registration Note: If you are not attending but registering others from your district, you will need to first create an Eleyo account if you don't already have one. Second, you will select yourself as an "attendee" but that is strictly for email receipt processing. You will include the names and emails of the actual attendees after this step. Attendees will receive a confirmation directly from the event coordinator before the site visit. For further assistance, call 952.848.3976
