We are moving, probably May 1st, and we are more than likely moving to a different school zone (same county).
With approximately 3 weeks remaining of the school year (after May 1st), would you be more inclined to move your child (gifted or not) to the new school for the last three weeks so he/she can get a feel of it, or keep him/her at the current school and drive back and forth (the latter being probably illegal, but still)? If we move to a place that has a primary school that only goes up to grade 1, we want to keep DS in his current school (no sense going to another school for 3 weeks and then begin even another in August). But not sure how to work out the other... plus, we may be as much as a 30-45 minute drive away.
Also, we are concerned with how a new school will receive DS6 (being grade accelerated and in Target). We will be in the same county, but not sure of how the transfer process is for a kid like DS, even within the same county. Should I contact his current school and give them a hypothetical? Or should I contact the county district and ask them, hypothetically speaking of course?
