[quote=Anonymous]OP, I teach elementary school. I think mid- year is a good time to start at a new school. The new child gets a lot of attention being the "new kid" and the teacher may help him make a few friends. He will be a new face in the school and will get shown around more, perhaps. He may make a local friend or two, especially if there's a club or class at school. If you wait until next fall, your child will be starting as the new child in 1st grade, when it will be less obvious he is new. He will just be expected to be starting the new school year, like all the other 1st graders, and will have less support from the teacher, because all the kids will be new to her.[/quote]
