🔑 Key Takeaways:
A move can be challenging, but not impossible:
- Document: Ensure that you get anecdotal reports from teachers that describe your child. These can help inform the new school system on what your student needs.
- Realistic Timelines: These transitions take time. Be prepared to work actively to prepare the new school for anywhere from 3-6 months prior to your move.
- Offer Extra Support: Military families face a lot of different trauma in their lives. Be considerate of this fact and offer thoughtful ways to protect and include your military students and families into the school system.
