Going back to school for a new Memphis school year can be hard on the whole family. Children can have an exceptionally hard time going back to school in a new town and new school. If you are moving to Memphis from a place with a different climate, you will have to be prepared for unfamiliar seasons, amongst many other things. There are many things that you can do to get your kids prepared to start school in a new town and local Memphis movers want to help make it easier, with the following tips:

-If you have the option, find a home in Memphis that is in a good school zone district.

-Find a good pediatrician. Make sure that your kids have all of their immunizations and that their physicals are up to date.

-Shop for back to school items when they have tax-free shopping days, since moving can be expensive.

-Buy clothes with the entire school year in mind. Seasons in Memphis can range from very cold to scorching hot, so plan and purchase school clothes accordingly.

-Sign your kids up for extracurricular activities. Getting them involved will introduce them to neighborhood kids that they can bond with over shared interests.

-Learn the routes to work and school. Time the trips to and from school or work, from start to finish and account for traffic.

-Get out and about in Memphis. Eat out at the local restaurants and explore the Memphis hot spots. This is a great way to get the family together and become familiar with your new town.

Moving to a new town can be stressful and starting a new school for kids can be scary. Being prepared can help alleviate some of the anxiety of moving to Memphis. Your local All My Sons movers are here to help make your move smoother!
