Children are often more adaptable than you think, if you are not moving too far, can the children not go with you and visit the school, maybe meet their classmates and their new teacher, have a look around. Involve them in the moving, maybe allow them both to choose something new for their new bedrooms.
Often they will settle faster than the adults.

IS YOUR CHILD PREPARED?
Register your child in the school nearest to your home if possible.
Make sure he/she has adequate school supplies.
Make sure the child has enough neat and clean clothes for school.
MEET THE PRINCIPAL
If possible, visit your child's new school alone so you can freely discuss any problems the child may have. If you have scholastic and immunization records bring them with you.
If your child has special needs, inform the school of any established educational plans. Request additional services or assessments the school may provide if you feel they're needed.
MEET THE NEW TEACHER
Meet your child's new teacher and ask the teacher to let you know of any adjustment problems he/she observes. This will alert you to issues you may have to address either in the home or with a school counselor.
Some schools invite parents to help the teacher with various tasks. If this interests you, and you have the time, volunteer. Even if you are assigned to a different classroom, your presence at the school should be reassuring to your child, helping ease the transition.
YOUR CHILD'S FIRST DAY
Take your child to school on the first day so that you can personally introduce the new teacher.
Make sure provisions are made for his/her lunch and, if possible, pick your child up after school.
When you get home share an after-school snack; this provides a safe, secure time for hearing about the child's first impressions and first day adventures.
Good luck! :)

We moved at this time last year. My son was in first grade and did have a hard time adjusting. We took him on a tour of the school before he started. If they could see the school and meet the teacher, that might help. It was hard on him. Things are much better this year. I don't know how old your children are, the older they are the harder it will be I think. Good luck.

If you have the time...go by their old school and take some pictures of their friends,teachers etc. Then at home take pictures of the neighborhood, house,friends etc. Then they will be able to remember everything they are leaving behind. Then ifd possible I would bring them to their new school to look around and get comfortable in their new surroundings. Introduce them to ther new teachers and maybe they can sit in their new classrooms for awhile before actually starting school . Kids are more resillient they we give them credit for, they will probably be just fine. Good Luck In Your New Location!

try & make their new rooms have some of the old room feel. make some fun w/ it-good memories to start-enjoy the house. If you are not far from the old house, let them visit old neighborhood friends, bring their bikes over there, sleep overs there, your new house...if it is far, there is the computer, let them email & IM one another. If younger, have play dates there house, & yours. Just try & mix the old w/ the new, don't leave your life behind, take it with. They will be fine--you care!

Keep everything for now as NORMAL as possible. such as playdates or activities with friends.
When you move, I would encourage them to join in a groups or activities at the new school to make some new friends.

Kids are pretty resilient when it comes to change. We moved when my kids were going into 2nd and 6th grade and there were no problems.
