MIDYEAR TRANSFERS TIPS
Six Steps for Smooth Sailing
Research
Spend time reading through the K12 site. Knowing as much as you can will empower your success. Reach out to the Learning Coach community to get a lay of the land.
Align
Check the enrollment calendar to align your schedule with the start of a new quarter. Ask your teachers when a new topic will begin to jump into the flow easily. Or coordinate special education services to catch up before the next session starts. School staff can help.
Plan
Plan for the transfer by organizing your paperwork. Before you enroll, it helps to have certain documents on hand — a birth certificate and school transcripts, for instance.
Involve
Involve your child in the decision. Encourage them to ask questions, and explore the answers together. K12 education is a family journey.
Support
Support your child with empathy and patience. Encourage them to make the most of this fresh start by taking it one day at a time and adding in extracurriculars and social activities when ready.
Lean
Lean on the teachers, Learning Coach community, and school administrators. Ask questions. More than likely, we have a resource to make your days easier.
