How to Transfer Your Student

Transfers are required for students to attend a school other than their "home school" - the school assigned based on the parent/guardian's legal address of residence. 

If you wish to attend your home school, then simply enroll at that school with all the necessary paperwork. Your new school will arrange for an exchange of records from the previous school.

Please make sure your student is enrolled in their home school before the request is submitted to the school you wish your student to attend.

 

Any requests submitted for incoming kindergarteners may be held for consideration until school starts.
