Student Transition Program

Program Overview

At DoDEA Pacific, military-connected children are at the heart of all we do. We recognize our military children move three times more often than their civilian peers, with many students attending six to nine different schools during their K-12 years. We also know frequent moves may cause stress and anxiety, adversely impacting students.

DoDEA Pacific’s Student Transition Program is designed to assist newly arriving elementary, middle and high school students with finding community within their new school.

Each Student Transition Program is served by a Program Coordinator and Student Ambassadors and provides:

  • A personalized school tour from a Student Ambassador, who can answer questions about classes and programs from a student perspective
  • Resources to assist following a PCS move

Student Ambassadors

Each new student is assigned a student ambassador from their class, whose main responsibilities are to escort new students for a week, eat lunch together and provide information on expectations and routines.
