[quote=Anonymous]Our 5th grader currently attends a HRCS but will be moving to Deal MS for 6th in the fall of 2019.  What advice would all of you offer to help our kid transition, particularly in terms of making friends at a new school?  We aren't coming from a Deal feeder, and worry whether that will make it harder for our kid to make friends with kids arriving with a cohort from their previous elementary schools.  We are active and social with other families at our current school, and are more than willing to get involved, meet other families, and build relationships at Deal too.

How have others found Deal and other families there at helping kids integrate from different feeder, charter, and other elementary school backgrounds?

Are there things others would recommend that we can do this year or next summer to help this process?  Maybe such as attending Deal school events, orientation, tours, and so on?  Are there ways others have found helpful to meet and build relationships with other Deal families, either before or after 6th grade starts, even if you don't live in the same neighborhood as they do?

Thanks in advance for any advice.   [/quote]
