Specialties School

I currently work for an elementary school. This is our last year in our current building. I have the option to either go to the new elementary school or the new middle school. The elem school would have around 300 of my current kids and 12-14 of our teachers. The new middle school is closer to my home & my child would go there in 2 years. I have never worked at a middle school. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my RN. She's fabulous! If I go to the new middle school, I wouldn't really know anyone or any of the kids. The RN wouldn't be the one I love so much. BUT, my child would be at my school in two years. My heart wants to be with my kids, but my head is telling me to go to the middle school to be closer to my child. Any thoughts?

I moved up with in the schools about coincident with my children getting older. I found it fit my lifestyle better. When I got to high school I just stayed (my kids are grown now). I like it, but I have thought about going back to elementary.

I think a lot can change in 2 years, so given that your children wont be there until then, I would stay with where you are.
