Nope. Not at all. Just make certain that the requirements at the other school won't keep your child from graduating on time.

I can't agree with the previous poster, at least as to the law in California (and you there - the asker - you've got to tell people what state you're in when you ask these kinds of questions).\n\n\nSchools are built with public funds, and as such are public property.  They are controlled public property when school is in session (because the government has a compelling interest in keeping the school property controlled during school hours), but when students are not present, the school does not have the authority to tell you you cannot be there...conceivably on the very land your taxes helped to purchase and maintain.  \n\nSo the info I have for you is really more of a suggestion; contact the district office of the school you want to play ball at, and ask them.  If they tell you you can't be there during non-school hours, ask them for the law that says you can't.  Be polite, but be insistent.  Once you have that law (assuming it exists), read it for yourself and see what you think.  If you disagree that it says you can't be there, take it up with the school district again.\n\nNot so long ago I was faced with this exact situation...a school employee was complaining that people were on the campus, not doing anything illegal, and he wanted them removed.  I knew of no legal authority to make them do so, so they stayed on the campus (this was on a weekend).  I spoke to the District Superintendent a few days later and asked if he knew of any law that kept people off public school grounds during non-school hours.  He didn't.\n\nGood luck with this.  I hope if you get an answer from the school you'll come back here and contact me with it - I'd be interested to know what you find out.

I doubt it. Check their catalog online, it will have credit transfer guidelines. Go to your admissions office to withdraw, and the new school will likely ask you for a transcript. Sorry, but that GPA is going to haunt you. Bummer. I know some schools will let you take the class over and average the grade, but not all of them. My best advice is to sit patiently and wait to talk to your counselor, and check the catalog for withrdrawl procedures.

Not necessarily. I'm still friends with a friend I had in kindergarten, and I moved 1000 miles away.  (I'm 37 now!)

Well it's kinda scary going from elemntry to high school all a sudden isn't it?\n\nyou get more education each year by building from what you learned before....... and jumping from 6th grade to 10th grade i think in your case... is quite a scare.

You do not have to attend that school. If you get into the school you want, notify them (the old school) that you will not be attending ASAP so they can award that money, housing, etc. to someone else. Then begin the package and schedule with the new school. :)

It's not really a good idea to move kids when they are studying. Different schools have different exam boards: AQA, for example. You'll need to ring the school which you plan to move to and explain the situation. By rights, they can call the exam board and get them to agree for her to sit her exams at their school. However, if it's a different syllabus then it'll mean sitting the gcses in a separate room . Also the revision and coursework may cause some problems if the subjects are different. Best ring and see.

your best bet is to check with the realtor you plan on listing the property with. \n\nclosets are very important nowadays, moreso than in the past.\n\nas long as you have ample closet space, you should be fine. but, if there are say, NO closets, you should consider adding some or coming up with some alternative. \n\nthey don't necessarily have to be WALK-IN closets, but just average size for that house, room, etc.

I think this is a very good idea.  You need to start with the administration of the High School and the targeted elementary schools, if you want to get anywhere.  You also might be able to bring something like this into a local Boys & Girls Club.

Usually, the school district will want the students to start attending the other district you moved into.  To avoid this, you can always get a Post office box (in the old district) and use that as your permanent address/mailing address.  Start driving the kids to school if you want to keep them in the same district.\n\nAt the beginning of the year, my husband and I were staying with my parents for a couple months until our house was available to move into.  Because of that, we were in a different school district but we still drove our daughter to school every morning (15 minutes away) so she wouldn't have to change schools or miss any school.  We moved back into the district but to avoid any problems, we kept a mailing address in the old district even while we were gone.

Yes, it's fine. \n\nIf the school is full though, you might be on the waiting list. However, most people would advise you not to move during the school year, as your classes and knowledge will differ and difficult to adjust to classes. Friends and people are not so much a problem if you have no trouble adjusting to new people. \n\nIf you are transferring somewhere between 11-12 grade, I advise you NOT to do it. 11-12 grade, especially if you are doing IB, is a very important time in school. \n\nHope I helped!

You could call a local realtor. They would probably know, if not they could direct you within your community.

It is not common, but it is possible to attend school across district lines.  Schools are said to service an area of the community within a certain district boundary.  Most of the time, where your child attends school is based on residency.  \n\nBefore two districts would enter into a school district transfer agreement, there usually has to be some outstanding reason, for example:\n\na)  In the case of divorced parents who live in different districts, or \nb)  In the case where your child couldn't get the proper education in the district where you live, or \nc)  In some special education cases, or \nd)  If attending a certain school in your district would be a hardship when another school in another district is closer, or\ne)  Your child is currently enrolled in a school, identified under certain state or federal education criteria, where he has the right to attend another school even if it is outside his normal district\n\nPaying school tax in another district usually does not automatically entitle your child to attend school there.  \n\nIn some states, communities assess school taxes to property owners, and if someone owns 3 or 4 houses, they would get 3 or 4 school tax bills.  They would have to pay all the bills they receive, but their children (if they have school age children) would only be entitled to attend school in the district where they live, and then only attend those certain schools that service the address considered to be their primary home.  Attending a different school would require an "In District" transfer request.\n\nYour child can attend private school anywhere you wish.  The districts are drawn for public school, charter, and alternative school, etc. education.  \n\nSome communities have consolidated school districts.  They share resources, and it might be more common for students to cross district lines if they choose.\n\nYou should contact the school district you want, and petition to have your child transfer and attend school there.  They may allow the change.  Ultimately, it's up to them and the particular rules they follow in your community.  It's possible, if they do allow the change, they might be obligated to provide bus transportation for your child because of distance, so keep this in mind when contacting them.   Also, out-of-district transfer requests are usually considered on a "space available" basis.  With today's overcrowed school situation, in some areas, you may have a hard time getting your transfer request approved.\n\nBut it doesn't hurt to try, if that is what you want and feel is best for your child!

Only if you move into a residence within the Kalamazoo Public School district and start your child in the Kalamazoo Public Schools from kindergarten on through high school graduation.  Otherwise, if your child is older and enters KPS in a later grade, they may only pay part or none of tuition.  The Kalamazoo Promise free tuition deal is only valid at a Michigan university or community college if your child gets accepted (AND graduates from high school).\n\nDo your research before you move, because there are not too many good jobs available there. It's a small town, only 80,000. And there's a gold rush on to buy houses within the KPS school district, so expect higher house prices than 1 year ago.

How much longer is the commute? Would it be burdensome? Are you social and would you make new friends?\n\nI think you should stay at the school. You have your teachers there still, and your records. You want to be able to transition to college well, so think about where you can take the best classes and most easily process your transcripts. You need teacher recommendations. Just make a list of the pros and cons and go with whichever seems best.

hey thats all the better that your smart! dont worry- just because you smart doesnt mean that you can only hang out with the "smart kids" (unless you want to!!) i moved to New York from South Korea in 6th grade (i knew english fluently) and was placed in the highest classes available. they were easy for me but the people there wernt my type so i made friends with people that wernt in my class. i distance learned for 7th grade and now im going back there for 8th and i asked specifically to not be placed in the high classes because i wanted to be more with my friends. keep this in mind- once you get to college there is no such thing as the "cool crowd" the "geeks" or any of that. you can roll out of bed put your hair up and walk to class in your pajamas without taking a shower and no one cares. most of the time you wont even talk to others in your class anyway in college. besides good grades mean good job so do your best and dont let schooling get in the way of your friendship!
