Click here for District Transfer forms and guidelines -->> If you are interested in transferring your student to another elementary, middle or high school, January is the best time to apply. In-district student transfer applications for the coming school year that are received in January are generally permitted if they meet the school's enrollment criteria. All applications for elementary or middle school transfers received after Jan. 31 will be approved on one-for-one exchanges that do not exceed building or classroom desired capacity (meaning that the requested school has to have a student who wishes to transfer in the other direction). High schools are limited to these one-to-one exchanges year-round. See below to read more about transfers, or click here to apply. Questions?

Returning seniors will receive top priority. Applications received after the last school day in January 2012 will be assigned to the waiting list in the order they are received. Requests submitted on the same day are placed on the waiting list by lottery draw.
