[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid switched in 6th. It was the perfect year. She got involved, made friends, and found her place. She is a little more “innocent”and it took a full year to “catch up.”

Advocating for yourself is the biggest switch. Private schools parents usually call teachers or administrators. That’s a no-no in public unless there’s a special need, health issue or bullying. Kids will have to learn to go to the teacher on their own when it comes to assignments.

Try to make a friend or two before school starts. It’s nice to have someone who can introduce your kid around or a place to sit at lunch.

Kids make friends in their classes.  There’s a lot of group work. They start text chains so your kid should have a smart phone to participate.

Highly encourage sports or activities. You want to engaged, but not so busy where she doesn’t have time to spend with friends. Good luck!

Get them an iphone.  Kids use imessages, and androids don't play well with imessages. My kids learned that the hard way.

FWIW, I have an android, and I hate iphones.[/quote]

This is a post by a kid who wants their parents to get them an iPhone. Good lord, LOL. [/quote]
