A new base often means a new school—and that transition can be tough without the right prep. 📑✏️ Military parents, here’s your PCS checklist for school records:

✅ Contact your current school early and request transcripts, IEP/504 plans, testing info, and health/immunization records
✅ Scan and upload everything to a digital folder you can access on the road
✅ Research the school requirements in your new state—some have different testing or curriculum
✅ Reach out to the new school’s registrar before arrival to get ahead of enrollment deadlines

A smooth school transfer means your child can start strong in their new environment—and we’re here to help with the housing side so you can focus on family. 🎒🏡
