Student Transfers

 

* PLEASE SUBMIT ALL TRANSFER REQUEST DOCUMENTS TO: [email protected] * 

 

The Priority Window for submitting 2024-2025 student transfer applications will be open January 15th  - March 8th 

Transfer applications submitted are approved pending available space at the desired school.  Should a school receive more transfer requests than there are spaces available, approval will be determined through a random, unbiased selection process to establish the order in which transfers will be approved and to initiate a waiting list. Transfer requests received before the deadline will have priority over transfer requests received after the deadline. However, the order in which transfers are received prior to the deadline has no effect on the approval decision.

 
Timeframe for District Response
  • The District will notify the parent/guardian by US mail of their decision within timeframes specified below
  • Education Code 46600-46603 provides the following timeframes for notifications:
    • For requests submitted during the regular school year, districts shall respond within 30 days of submitting the request.
