The Real Housewives of New Jersey kids are moving on up! After graduating from elementary school in June, Melissa Gorga's daughter Antonia just started middle school on Tuesday.

Melissa advised her "baby girl" to "be kind, be smart & be assertive" as she entered this new chapter of her life.

Antonia's brothers, 8-year-old Gino and 6-year-old Joey, looked dapper as they started the new school year.

Antonia's cousin Gabriella Giudice, 11, also began middle school on Tuesday. 

Teresa Giudice's eldest daughter Gia, 15, started off her sophomore year of high school looking fabulous as always.

Milania, 10, and Audriana, 7, looked too cute in their first-day-of-school outfits.

Right before they kicked off the new school year, Teresa and her daughters ended the summer with a bang as they traveled to the Jersey Shore for some fun in the sun on Labor Day Monday.

This RHONJ brood has grown up right before our eyes and so have the rest of the Real Housekids.
