How do we prepare school and teachers?

Should we be concerned with the assignments our children are
given which frequently seem to be biased against adoption (i.e. family tree, bring in a baby picture, family history...)? What can be done to help them learn what to say
and what not to say?
Should we send them to school immediately after receiveing
them if it is in the middle of the school year? Or, should we
allow a period of adjustment before sending them to school?
Should we be concerned if our birth daughter goes to a private
school and the adopted children will not be able to also
attend the same school until next year? Could this cause
a significant amount of sibling rivalry and feelings of
favoritism towards our birth child?
