Subject: Student Transfer Policy Update
Dear families,
To ensure a more streamlined process and to plan for appropriate staffing levels in schools, TCRCE has updated the Student Transfer Policy.
We encourage all parents/guardians to review the full policy here. Here are the highlights of the Student Transfer Policy:
Applications for the next school year must be received no later than February 28. Administration will communicate with families between June 1 and 15 of a conditional decision contingent on changes in enrollment and class sizes. Any changes to this decision will be communicated prior to the first day of school.
The administrator of a student’s catchment school, together with the administrator of the transfer school, will consider requests for student transfers. Transfer requests and renewals will not be automatically approved and must be submitted annually.
Approval of a student transfer does not guarantee approval of transfer requests for siblings. An individual application must be made for each student.
The following factors will be taken into consideration when reviewing a transfer request:
Program options not available in the student’s catchment school.
Class sizes and total enrollment in the catchment and transfer schools.
Student behavior record combined with the probability of success in a new environment.
Extenuating circumstances of the student.
Student attendance and absenteeism concerns (if applicable).
Families wishing to apply for a transfer must complete the application form located within the policy here or under Policy 750 on our website.
