Understanding the School Transfer Process
It is important that students have a consistent school experience. Therefore, transfers during the school year are granted only for extenuating and urgently necessary circumstances. We strongly encourage parents to participate in the district’s School Choice lottery to apply to preferred schools.
To apply for a school transfer during the school year, a parent or guardian may complete the student transfer request form.
Transfers may be granted IF: 1) space is available at the school the parent or guardian requests, 2) in accordance with the district’s school choice process and 3) only if it is approved by the Superintendent or an appropriate designee.
Transferring schools during the school year can be harmful for a student’s progress. Parents cannot transfer their children between January 1 and June 30 unless approved by an appropriate Administrator. Again, these transfers may only occur under circumstances deemed most necessary. While parents are welcomed to submit transfer requests, no transfer is guaranteed.
Should the parent or student have any questions regarding obtaining working papers, they may contact the Office of School Choice & Enrollment at (475) 220-1430 or via email at
