Student Transfer Procedures

Procedures for 2024-2025 Transfer Requests

Deadline May 31st

Transfers must be renewed every year for accurate and efficient campus planning. No transfers are renewed or extended without re-application and approval, in writing, through the Office of Student Services.

TRANSFER REQUEST APPLICATION DATES:

  • OUT OF DISTRICT TRANSFER: April 1st – May 31st
  • IN DISTRICT TRANSFER: May 1st – May 31st

All parents will be notified by mail no later than June 30 of the transfer decision. Denied applications may appeal the decision to an appeal committee by contacting the Office of Student Services.  Appeal hearings will be scheduled by Student Services.

Please ensure you provide with completed transfer application:

  • Current proof of residence (water, electric, gas, lease/mortgage that is in your name or your spouse’s name, no disconnect notices) must be provided with application.

Child Care Transfers:

  • You must provide a notarized statement from your childcare provider confirming that they will be taking care of the student, together with current proof of their childcare address.
  • If the provider is an established childcare center, you may simply bring an enrollment statement from the center showing that your child is enrolled for the 2024-2025 school year and the location where your child will be cared for.
  • If your employer will allow you to leave to pick up your child at dismissal, a statement on company letterhead confirming that they will allow you to leave, together with their title and contact information.

Sibling Transfers:

  • A sibling transfer may be requested to allow a student to attend the same campus as his/her sibling, as long as that sibling qualifies, is enrolled at that campus, and space is available.

Former Students:

  • A former student transfer may be requested to allow a student to return to a campus for one more year if he/she has moved out of the attendance zone. Former student transfers will only be granted for one additional year.  This 1-year maximum does not apply to boundary changes or students in high school.  If a transfer was granted for a former student in 2023-2024, you will not be granted a former student transfer for this school year.

Secondary transfer applications may have implications for participation in athletics. Participation in high school athletics is established during the student’s 8th-grade year based upon the attendance zone in which the student’s residence is located.
