I'll transfer to a new school this coming May since the school is near to my residential area. So I'll be facing new sets of teachers. But some of these teachers are my teachers during my Grade School years. What could be my approach to them since they're already my co-teachers and I'm their student anymore?

Its quite easy really...All you have to do is be the first one to approach them. I'm quite sure that they wouldn't throw you off alone in the air. Plus, its really advantageous that you already knew some of them as I'm quite positive that they do remember you. Just don't feel nervous and be yourself I'm sure everything will go your way.

Don't be apprehensive about this my dear. When students go back to their alma mater as teachers their former teachers rejoice and commend on this fact. Just remember that they are your seniors and have a lot of knowledge that you can gain from o.k. Just continue to be the person you are. Be respectful and do the best.

Oh, it is easy, you see, they must have some impression about you,so it is easy for you to communicate with them. If they forget you, then you can tell them the true that you are their students in X-primary school. Taking it easy! You are the best! Good Luck!

First a fall be happy that ur going to get a new set of friends.....
Since the teachers who r going to handle subjects to u r also known to u its a big advantage because u can go and clarify ur doubts then and there....
U can go and approach them very casually since they r known to u.....
Greet them when u see them.....try to get a better impression......sure u can shine in ur new school....all the best

I think that as long as you are profesional you should be fine. I would not tell my students that some of their teachers were also your teachers because kids already think their teachers are old. If you remember your future co workers in a good light then you should be fine. But if you had problems during those years you will really need to be profesional.
Just remember: You now have a degree. You can be friends
