A mom question for moms who have moved ther kids to a new school area...

Question

I have a great 5 yr old. we moved to a new town a yr ago, now its time for kindergarden to start. I need some advice from moms who have moved there kids to a new school area...

Answer 1

You don't need any advice.... your child is just beginning their school career. If you had moved in the 4th grade or middle of high school, you would need advice, but this is nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

She will be fine...it is all the kids first time.  So she will fit in and enjoy it!  Be thankful for when you moved.  My siblings and I lived and went to the same school all our lives and about a month ago moved to a different state.  We have had to change everything, and it sucks as only like a couple of the kids in the neighborhood go to the school we will be going to.  We are having a hard time adjusting.  But I think it will be better to start in the beginning of the year instead of coming in the middle.  But I think your daughter will be fine, and just as scared/nervous and in the same position as the other kids.  

Answer 3

Answer 4

hey dont worry shes just starting shell do great

Answer 5

Most kids adjust just fine and very quickly.  The younger they are, the easier and faster it is.   We moved when my kids were going into 2nd and 6th grade..it only took a few weeks to feel right at home.

Answer 6

I'm not exactly sure what advice you're looking for--you've lived there for a year, and he is just starting kindergarten, so it's not like there are any issues about him changing schools.

Is your child registered?  Do you know about any upcoming dates for meetings with teachers, orientation, etc.?  If you are unsure, you can call your school district.

Answer 7

Take him/her with you to registration at the school and walk around the halls.  Read the names on the doors.  As soon as you are given the new teacher's name start using it in conversation so it sounds familiar.  See if there is a before first day of school open house.  Find out what the attendence area is where children who will be going to that particular school live.  Go to the parks in that area and take walks with your child through the local streets so he'll have an idea of the geography and where the school is in relation to your home.  He will meet and be able to play with children who are likely to be at his school, you will meet some of the mothers, and when school starts both of you will see familiar faces.

Answer 8

my ten year old twin girls have moved every year since kindergarten, this will be the first time they are going to the same school two years in a row, my advise to you is .....relax children are much more resilient than adults, after a few days my kids always fit right in, and i always separate them in school , so it's not like they had each other in class.

she will be fine i promise!
