Can I reverse a transfer?
Intra-district transfers
Intra-district transfer is a commitment for at least one semester. Transfers or reversal of transfers to return to the home campus are not granted during semesters.
Inter-district transfers
Inter-district transfers are granted annually but the parent may choose to withdraw their student at any time and return to their home district.
-
How long does a transfer last and can it be revoked?
Intra-district transfers
Once approved, the intra-district transfer is in effective for all grade levels in the designated feeder unless the school becomes overcrowded or the principal revokes the transfer. When a change of level is made (elementary to middle school, middle school to high school, etc.) a new transfer form is not needed unless the student would like to return to their home campus feeder or select a different school.
Siblings are not guaranteed approval to the same campus. Transfer availability will be evaluated at the time of their request.
An Intra-district transfer may be revoked by the school principal if disciplinary or attendance rules are violated, if there is a lack of academic progress, or if there is a lack of parental cooperation at the transfer campus.
Intra-district transfers are revocable at the fall semester or end of school year.
Inter-district transfers
Once approved, the intra-district transfer continues to be in effect for all grade levels in the designated feeder, which applies unless the transfer is revoked or parent fills out a new transfer for the child to attend a different school or request to revert the current transfer for the child to return to their home feeder campus. Siblings are not guaranteed approval to the same campus and will be evaluated at the time of their request.
Intra-district transfers may be revoked by the school principal if disciplinary or attendance rules are violated, if there is a lack of academic progress, or if there is a lack of parental cooperation.
Intra-district transfers are revocable at semester and year’s end.
