Things are going really well with our to-be son. Our current anticipated move in date is end of school year...has anyone ever had the date moved up because the kid and family were ready?

We did. Our son (almost 4yrs at the time) was supose to have one more weekend visit with us but we were ready for him to stay ( after only one weekend visit). All I had to do was ask his adoption specialist and she let the foster parents know he was moving in 3 days instead of 10.

We had a move-in date moved up because we got in a power struggle with the group home where our daughter was living. The guy in charge of the group home thought he would tell us how to do the transition, and when we didn't agree and got the social worker on our side, he basically kicked her out. He even refused to have the move-out party he promised her. So, we ended up with a five-day transition instead of two weeks. (The group home wanted three months and didn't want us to see her every day!)
I would talk to the worker in charge of your transition and just tell them you think it is going really well and you would like to consider moving it up. The school year is a major milestone and waiting for the end of it is worth something. Could you drive him to the same school until the end of the year and switch schools next year?
Good luck!

We had our move in date moved up due to allegations in the foster home. All I know is that I was glad that I went ahead and became a foster parent as well or my son would have had to move to another foster home and I would have had major trouble at that point.
