This handbook is designed to support military connected families as they PCS to their new duty station in Europe. There is a handy checklist at the end for you to print out and use as you move forward in your new adventure. Whether mid-school year or over summer break, leaving a school and smoothly integrating into a new one requires planning and a positive attitude. It is hoped that the information in this handbook assists and encourages you as our country’s “youngest heroes” make their move in support of the mission. As with any PCS move of a school age child, your School Liaison Officer is available with information, referrals, and assistance in planning for a smooth as possible school transition.
