The Chicago Public Schools in the To&Through Middle Grades Network (MGN) represent diverse middle grades structures and student bodies, as well as a deep commitment to reimagining the middle grades experience. An ever evolving sociopolitical climate and increasing challenges with adolescent mental health, make it more urgent than ever for practitioners to focus on the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of middle grades students.
