The school-calendar problem
Families move between school years, which in Phoenix means late June and July — the hottest weeks of the year. If your children start at a new school in August, moving in October isn’t an option. The answer is to plan the day around the heat:
- Ask for an early-morning start, so heavy carrying is done before the afternoon.
- Pack the garage first, while it’s still bearable.
- Pack heat-sensitive items last — candles, records, electronics, medication — and keep them out of hot trucks.
- Pack kids’ rooms near the end, so children have somewhere normal to be.
- Keep cartons out of driveways and open garages while waiting for the truck.
For many households a partial pack — kitchen, fragiles and garage — is the right fit.
