Abstract
In Portugal, there are several transitions between teaching cycles along the school path. The transitions between cycles follow personal, social, and emotional transformations of students, as well as imply their adaptation and responsiveness to educational contexts. In particular, the transition from the 1st to the 2nd Cycle of Basic Education occurs alongside variations from childhood to pre-adolescence and from one to several teachers. The support provided by parents/guardians and teachers is essential during this transition. The importance of the family-school relationship as a facilitator of adaptation to transitions and school success should also be highlighted. It is justified that Educational Psychologists collaborate with other educational agents to support the strengthening of the family-school relationship throughout schooling. As part of the activities of a Mediation and School Guidance Office (school year 2020/21), an awareness-raising action was carried out with parents/guardians of 4th grade children. The action assumed the main goal of raising awareness to the developmental and academic changes lived in the transition to the 2nd Cycle of Basic Education. The action was developed online, with two hours-long and included the participation of six mothers. Moments of reflection regarding the potential of a family and school partnership to support the educational path of students were provided. Practical strategies to support the transition to the 2nd Cycle of Basic Education were also discussed. By the end, the participating mothers were satisfied with the action and felt more confident to assist their offspring in this school transition. It is important to continue developing activities to strengthen collaboration between educational agents and support transitions through educational levels.
