Don't worry. People at a school can always tell if you are new or not. Usually those are the people who will show you around. Doesn't hurt to ask people questions and they won't look at you crazy. Just chill. Even though you will be new, there will always be people around to help you out. I wish you luck at your new school too. It may be different, but you may like it.

I think the most important thing is to be yourself. You dont want kids at a new school liking you for someone you're not. \n\nSecondly, I would suggest you get involved with activities in the school and or the community. Examples would be a sporting team, speech club, choir, band, a church group, etc. Those are always good ways to meet new people, espeically people who are interested in the same things you are. \n\nAlso, dont be shy. Although it might be hard because you're around new people, don't hesitate to initiate conversations with people. That's how you'll get to know them. You're starting all over with a blank slate. No one knows what you've done in the past or about you at all for that matter, so let them know who you really are. \n\nFinally, best of luck to you! I'm sure you'll do just fine. =)

Find some students and talk to them to get a first hand feel of what the school has to offer. Additionally get the campus newspaper and take a look to see what issues are important to the school.

Be yourself. It is hard to be new in a school. It is hard to make new friends. But it will happen. Find people that share your interests. Don't ever try and be someone your not because your not being fair to yourself.  I have always told my children that if you have one true friend then you are far luckier than someone that is in a crowd and not able to be themselves.  Have confidence in yourself, and always be true to yourself. Good luck at your new school.

The safest way is to contact a counselor in your chosen major's 'school' i.e., School of Business, etc at the new school.\nAlso, another thing is to find out what accredidation system your current school is a part of and then the new school's as well.  It's on their websites.  Then you should be able to find a list of accepted accredidations as well.  Warning:  If you are wanting to transfer as a 'transfer student' beware that each school and program has specific rules as to what constitutes a 'transfer student'.  I would strongly advise you to contact the school to make sure you cover your bases.

Make friends very quickly . This is because there are always going to be very rude kids going to any school . One other thing don't listen ti thise people who just make fun of people for no reason . Have fun at your new school and good luck .

What school do you think is going to be better for you academically? Also, if yo know what field you are going to go into, which one has a better handle of that area?\n\nAlso, remember that you are probally going to make new friends. Maybe you should go to the school wwhere 5 of your friends are going, because you and your best friend are mostl likely going to keep in touch no matter what. Do you also really want to be clinging to one person as you adjust to high school? What if you have no classes together? \n\nBut in the end, it's really up to you.

Contact the school.  Don't be afraid.

If the race for Valedictorian is all you care about, go to the new school. If it's your life you care about, stay. But if you go to the new school and dedicate your life to this race, you'd better make darn sure you win.

If you have to move to stay safe, then get yourself going. Don't worry about the new school you'll be attending. It only takes a couple of weeks to get used to anything new, and I'm sure you'll make a couple of friends by then. I had to move a lot when I was young and I really hated it. Just when I got used to things, my parents would tell me to pack my stuff and we'd move again...six months here, a year there. I went to 5 different schools. But, I do have to say that the last move I made was for the best. We lived on the south side of Chicago and things were getting really bad. I'm so very glad we moved, moving over 200 miles north. It made me relax quite a bit, and I even did better in school, not having to worry about anyone hassling me after school. So, don't worry, little one, things will work out. Especially since it seems your family wants a better life than what they have in your current neighborhood. These things have a way of turning out much better than you could ever imagine. <*)))><

Your school should have a faculty member in charge of exchanges.  See if they have any specifically geared toward your focus.

I would definitely be honest.\n\nBlock schedules do NOT work for all kids (nor for all teachers...they drove me INSANE) and schools understand that some students have difficulty working on that schedule.  I would recommend adding to your answer why you think the NEW high school would be better for you.  While shorter class length is a positive, what else do they have to offer?  Why THIS school instead of some other school?  That way, they don't see you as someone who can't handle a challenge, rather, you're someone who is making an informed decision about what works for you (and what does not work for you) in school.  High schools (like colleges) are competitive and they love to hear why people think they're better than other schools.  Don't put down your old school, though, since they don't like to hear things like "my old school sucked." Phrase it positively like: "While the schedule at my current high school worked for a lot of students, I had difficulty keeping my focus in the block schedule.  I realized I needed a place that had classes that meet for shorter periods to better remember what I learn.  School x sounds like it would be great because, in addition to the shorter class periods, it offers...."  (it's gotta have some other good points).  This way, you're not putting down your old school, but you are still saying why your (hopefully) new school is better.\n\nGood luck.

The important pinst are to make sure the school is renouned in teaching and has high accreditation and that teh teachers are good and friendly. Also look ahead to the future is the middle and high school also a good school. Hope this helped.

write about what makes the school a great school and why you want to go there.   Include all the educational type stuff you can think of instead of things like "because it's the closest".\n\nWhat's the essay for?  If it is a class placement type thing where they want to see what level English you need, write about whatever you want to.  Double check your spelling, punctuation, run on sentences, etc
