Moving to middle/high school:
Important notice for parents: If your child is moving on to middle school they will be expected to attend their school of residence unless they apply for and receive an intra-district transfer. Approved transfers to middle school will be valid for grades 7-12. When the student promotes to high school, the student has the option of continuing on with the normal transfer to that middle school’s receiving high school or attend the high school in the student’s home address’ attendance area. A transfer may also be submitted for the lottery to another high school.
SCHOOL PLACEMENT OPTIONS
If your child received an intra-district transfer for the current school year, allowing him/her to attend a school other than the school of residence, you need to be aware that there are options available to you for the upcoming school year.
Please assist the schools involved by letting them know your plans for next year. This will help with teacher staffing and insure that optimum space is available for all students, including your child, and provide the best learning environment for all. If you have any questions about this process direct those questions to Student Services at (559) 730-7573.
