Diana and I had a big decision to make for our boy when we moved. The new place is actually in a different district for elementary schools, so we had to decide if we are going to switch his school or keep him in North Ward. There were a bunch of pro's and con's to consider, he would be saying goodbye for now to many of his friends (they all go to the same junior high and high school, so he would see them again soon), but he could make friends around our neighborhood at the new school. We struggled with this decision for a while. Neither Diana nor I had ever changed schools when we were growing up, so we asked a few loved ones who had gone through that transition when they were younger. We got a lot of encouragement about changing schools being the right choice. We set up a meeting with the principle of the new school and toured the building and talked with her.
So, with everything considered and much thought, we decided to switch him over to West Ward Elementary. I think it will be the right choice for him and after we talked with him about it he is very excited about it too! He got really excited about it when West Ward had an open house before the school year started and he got to meet his new 2nd grade teacher: Mr. Nash! All right, now he's all in!
