Michelle, I respectfully disagree about the timing when you change schools. My parents moved me in the middle of first grade and I instantly became the unpopular kid -- something that lasted until we moved in 7th grade. This time I started the school year in a school that was new to everyone and got friends I kept for life.
If a child doesn't have good social skills, that added attention will shortly change to negative attention. But if everyone is feeling their way with a new teacher and new class, a new kid is more likely to find a kindred spirit.
