The transition from elementary to middle school presents significant challenges for students, as they adapt to new environments and multiple teachers. A partnership between the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE) and the National Association of Elementary School Principals aims to support this transition. Katie Powell, director for middle level programs at AMLE, emphasized the importance of understanding students' developmental needs: "This partnership is an opportunity for us to stand together in support of the educators we serve." The lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also pose additional challenges, as many students entering middle school faced disruptions during their elementary years. Rhonda Boyd, emeritus associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, noted that these experiences could shape how students respond to the transition. Educators must be equipped to address these unique challenges to foster a supportive environment for incoming middle schoolers.

The U.S. government shutdown has ended with a bipartisan funding deal, but neither party emerged satisfied. Democrats failed to secure a key health insurance tax credit extension, while Republicans faced public backlash, as reflected in polls and elections. The shutdown disrupted millions—federal employees missed paychecks and food banks saw long lines due to stalled aid. "Never have American families faced a situation where their health care costs are set to double — double in the blink of an eye," warned Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Meanwhile, schools are still struggling with food insecurity and disrupted support services. SNAP benefit delays caused food shortages in school pantries, severely affecting low-income families. Federal education staff layoffs halted services for homeless and migrant students, with uncertainty persisting until at least January 30. “I don’t think anything goes back to normal after such a long shutdown,” said Barbara Duffield of SchoolHouse Connection. Advocates warn of ongoing challenges and potential program cuts in upcoming funding decisions.
