[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved here last year and DS8 is going to be joining the school in 3rd grade. Most of these kids have been together since preK and some of their parents are alums. Any tips for breaking into this kind of environment? We are very much outsiders and I don’t know any school families. I am not a naturally friendly person (my son is, luckily!), so any tips or dos and donts are appreciated from people who have BTDT. For play dates - do people prefer to be invited to people’s homes, or meet at a park or indoor activity center?[/quote] I wouldn't worry about it. Back in the day, I was a transfer to a very small PK-8 where the only real expansion year was K. Everyone is psyched to have new friends and the school has a ton of practice in managing these transitions. I'm still friends with some of those classmates to this day. [/quote]
