    We at Hawthorne Brook we are committed to the care, safety, social and academic and emotional growth of your child. The transition to middle school can be a scary time for students (and parents!). The daily life of a middle school child can be an amazing time of wonder and discovery but can also be filled with an array of challenges that are typical of preadolescent and adolescent development. With the help of teachers, friends and family, students are able to navigate most of these challenges successfully.
