Take a deep breath. Your DS will adjust.
Here is an idea that might help. Talk to his gifted teacher and counselor at his new school. Have them pick 2 "buddies" in the program that will act as his guides in his new school for the first couple of weeks.
Also, you can talk to the parents of the buddies and set up a time to have them come over and hang out, or go to a park or something.
Maybe they can even e-mail him before he comes- telling you son all about the school.
Having a contact person or 2 always makes it easier on teens and tweens.
