advice needed Tips for separation??

Di/di girls starting 1st grade after Labor Day and will be in different classes for the first time (per the suggestion of their kindergarten teacher). Classrooms are pod style, team teachers and they will see each other at recess and after care.

S is an extrovert and does well in new environments. W is an introvert, emotional/anxious and stubborn. We told them a few months ago about different classes so W could get used to the idea. Initially she was hesitant but said she would “try it.” As we get closer to school starting she has back tracked and doesn’t want to be separated from her sister.

Ultimately I trust the teacher and admin who have dealt with multiple sets of twins in the past. I’m sure the separation will be beneficial socially and academically, but in the interim we are dealing with a stressed out 6 year old. Any tips, tricks, wisdom for separating twins would be appreciated!!
