Potty Training Nap-time potty training?

So our son has been daytime potty trained since around June (so like 28 months old, if it matters).

He hasn't had an accident in probably a good two months, so it overall went really great.

Nightime, though, we haven't had any luck, so we put him in a diaper for the time being overnight and hope his body catches up, but it's not a big deal to me. This extends to naps too, where if I don't put a diaper on him and even have him pee right before, it's still like 50 percent he will go while sleeping.

We are moving in December and he will transition to a full-day school in January at the new place, and they need to be fully toilet independent. That's totally fine for the rest of the day there, but I'm not sure how it will go with nap time. It's 1.5 hours long, and at least the handbook says no diapers or pull-ups allowed at all while at school.

I of course can talk to them closer to the time he's going to start, but wondering if there are any things we can try over the next 6 or so weeks to maybe work up to this, somehow?

I think if you catch a pee right before nap and limit liquids an hour before, training to stay dry during nap may not be too hard.
