Q: How do I get my 5 yr old ready for a new school in a new city?
We are moving soon back to our hometown. My 5 yr old started pre-k this year and he adjusted well. I'm worried about how he'll react to a whole new school. How do I get him prepared for this. Anyone have any good tips?

A: I recommend contacting the pre-k that you plan on registering him in and ask about some boys that will live in your area. When you get there, these boys could help your son meet new kids, and their parents could do the same for you. I suggest that you start 1-2 days before he will go to class, so he already knows some people. Also, you could contact people that you grew up with and ask them if they know any kids that will be in your son's pre-k. The goal would be to have him meet kids before his class starts, so he knows people and can adjust more easily. When is his birthday? I think you should throw a party and invite all of his classmates if his birthday is in the next month or so. That way, they get to know him, he gets to know them, and you get to know the parents. Good luck on a smooth and safe move!!

Q: How can my friend help her two pre-teen daughters accept their new middle school?
My female friend separated from her husband about 6 months ago & are divorcing. They moved to the west side of town & she put her 2 pre-teen daughters in the new middle school. It is a better school with greater academic & sports programs. They were both popular in their old school & they want to go back to it. Her decision is for them to stay in the new school. They have had a number of arguements over this. How can she help them accept this decision & bring peace back to her home?

A: There shouldn't be an argument. She's the parent and they're going to have to accept her decision. There's a lot of things in life we're not going to agree with but we do what we have to.

Q: When does America, and more specifically Alaska start a new school year?
In NewZealand (where I live) we start a new school year at the end of January, after our summer holidays over the christmas period. Do schools in America and Alaska do the same? One of my friends said they don't and one said they do. Thanks =]

A: I live in Alaska and have school age kids. Alaska starts the school year early - around August 15th, and ends the school year early - usually May 18th. This allows the children to accompany the adults to fish camp....... coincides with the first run of salmon that is the red salmon. Alaskan schools will about never have a snow day. Any emergency days are usually made up during the Spring vacation so the kids can get out of school exactly on May 18th. The rest of America will begin school after Labor Day - Sept 4th and will end around June 20th. Hope this helps
