Student Transfer Information

  • Thank you for your interest in ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ's Student Transfer Program.  We love that you've chosen us! 

    ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ welcomes students who do not reside in the district to apply.  A completed application with attached attendance, tardy information, and discipline for the previous school year must be attached to the application to be considered for a student transfer. Transportation to and from school is not provided for transfer students.  A valid email address is required. 

    A parent/guardian may request a transfer to a campus other than the home campus in the attendance zone in which the student resides. Only one transfer request may be submitted online and granted per school year. Parents/guardians must complete and sign a Student Transfer Agreement included in the application process. Please access the Student Transfer Guidelines for more information.
