Student Transfers

As per Board Policy # 5112, a new resident child who has attended a public or private school may be placed at the grade level, other than kindergarten or first grade, recommended by the previous school.

If it becomes necessary to transfer a child to another school, the parent/guardian must obtain a transfer card from the secretary of the school at which the child is currently enrolled. Please be sure that the health information requested is completed. When the child is registered at the new school, a release form must be completed and sent to the previous school. This process permits the child’s records to be forwarded.
