Finding school in the new place
Tools & Guides Download [PDF] Print
First steps:
  • Make an initial decision about what type of school (public, private, independent, or charter school) your child will attend.
  • Contact your child’s current school for advice and recommendations on selecting a new school.
  • Get in touch with recommended schools and ask for additional information.
  • You can also do some online research about schools in your new area.
Things to consider:
  • Select a school that is close to your new home, especially if you’d like your children to walk to and from classes.
  • You and your child should visit all potential schools. Encourage him or her to share their feedback with you.
  • Try to meet with the principal of each school.
  • Inquire about the extracurricular activities provided by the schools, like sports, music, etc.
  • Ask about other facilities, such as libraries, recreational areas, and computer labs.
After joining the school:
  • Make sure your child is introduced to his or her teacher and classmates.
  • Check with the school to find out what your child will need to bring in. Create a list to easily ensure that he or she has the necessary materials.
  • Provide the new school with your child’s appropriate records.
  • Let the school know if your child is on any medications.
First day of school:
  • Make sure your child knows how he or she is getting to the school and that they are comfortable with the route.
  • Allow your child to choose what food items they want for lunch.
  • If possible, pick up your child from school for the first few days, until he or she becomes more accustomed to the area and the new educational environment.
Some additional points:
  • Remain in contact with your child’s teacher so you know how he or she is adjusting.
  • If your child is in the final years of primary school, you should begin looking into secondary schools in the area.
