Education Interruption on the Common App?

Hello all:
I didn’t transfer in the middle of a school year; I switched schools after 10th grade. On the Common App, under “Education Interruption” it asks if you “did or will change secondary schools”. Should I check that box?
If you do check that box, it asks you to explain- presumably in an essay- in “Addition Information”. Changing schools (and why I did so) is the subject of my main Common App Essay, and so I don’t want to have to use that essay in the “Additional Information” section.
Can anyone explain?
Thanks!
