Military Student Transition Assistance

Programs that provide assistance for military-connected students in grades K-12 that help them cope with the challenges of moving and adjusting to a new school while meeting their academic and personal-social goals. With each new move, military children must cope with the stress of making new friends and leaving others behind, adapting to a new school environment at awkward times and figuring out how to fit in while trying to maintain a reasonable level of academic success. Transition consultants work directly with students and their parents to help them feel engaged in the school district, but also educate teachers and school personnel about issues unique to their military students. They address both school and deployment related concerns, and have provided assistance with transfer of credit, state-to-state testing requirements, magnet programs, transportation guidelines and school policies.
