Moving Before School Starts?

The summer months aren’t just filled with vacations, picnics and trips to the amusement park, but there’s also a traffic jam of families moving to new homes.  The summer is the best time to relocate children.  Of course there are moments when a child may be uprooted during the school year, but this should only be done when it’s absolutely necessary.  Allowing a child the opportunity to adapt to his or her new community, make friends in the neighborhood and then enter a new school is a much smoother transition.

  

So if you’re one of the thousands of families moving this summer I’d like to offer a few tips.  If you’re moving locally, long distance or even internationally I recommend you hire a reputable moving company to facilitate your relocation.  Now don’t just hire any mover, but shop for a relocation expert who’s able to be flexible.  There are so many variables when it comes to moving to a new home, especially in another state.  A flexible mover will not abandon your move if your move-in date shifts due to closing postponement or any other mishap.  This all too important characteristic is often overlooked by many consumers and thus becomes the source of many moving nightmares across the U.S.   I always recommend a Plan B when it comes to moving out of your old home and into the new one.  It would be wise to check local hotels in the area or extended stay properties.  You don’t have to reserve a room, but jot down their information and check their availability for that week.  This way you’re not looking frantically at the last minute trying to locate a place for you and your family.

Although things sometimes go wrong, there are also a number of times things go according to plan.  Therefore you also need a reliable mover.  A reliable mover is one who honors their commitment to an on time arrival and delivery of your household goods.  This is crucial for families relocating in a tight window before school starts.  Please note if you schedule a move date in the afternoon your movers could be late or early.  An afternoon move normally takes place after the first or second move of the day.  Your moving company will most likely give you a window of time they will arrive between.  As with any service professional they can’t guarantee a start time because it solely depends on the previous job(s).  I always recommend an early morning move.In preparation for moving day please make certain you properly tag your items.  If your moving company is doing the packing confirm their packing system to ensure you’re comfortable.  There’s nothing worse than not being able to find your things once you arrive at your new home.  While this may be a tedious process, it will pay off when you’re quickly trying to get settled in your home before school.  I also recommend you hold onto your child’s school records, immunizations, and other vital records needed for school registration.  This way, there’s no opportunity for things to be left behind, misplaced or out of your site at any time.  While the weeks are dwindling by quick, there’s still time for you to relocate and get settled in your new community before school starts, but hurry the first day of school is just around the corner.
