THIS PROCESS DOES NOT APPLY TO INTERDISTRICT TRANSFERS. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR INFORMATION ON THE INTERDISTRICT TRANSFER PROCESS. 

Students who reside within district boundaries may apply for enrollment in any district school. It is based on student enrollment and available space for the admission of students from outside a school's attendance area. Once enrolled, a student shall not have to apply for readmission. K-12 students may transfer from their School of Residence to an alternative school within our district boundaries.  

Students new to the district, requesting an intradistrict transfer, should complete the TK-12 New Student Registration process above, submitting the Open Enrollment Form (English) (Spanish version) in addition to the registration paperwork.  

Current students requesting an intradistrict transfer should submit the  Open Enrollment Form (English) (Spanish version) to their School of Residence OR current School of Attendance. 

Families requesting intradistrict transfers must submit their request during the Open Enrollment period, February 27-March 24, 2023.  Intradistrict transfer paperwork received after March 24, 3023 at 4PM will not be considered.

• Provisionally admit students to a requested district; based on their evidence that a final decision is pending with a district of residence, proposed district, or County Board of Education.

Pupil Residency: Pupils of Military Families:

Existing law provides an exception to the residency requirements for a student whose parent is transferred to or is pending transfer to a military installation with the state while on active military duty pursuant to an official military order. AB 2949 adds section 48204.6 to the Education Code to require a local educational agency to permit a student who meets certain criteria to continue attending the student's "school of origin" during that school year, regardless of any change of residence of the military family. If the student's status changes due to end of military service, then the student is allowed to stay in the school of origin for the remainder of the academic year if he or she is between grades 1-8, or through graduation if the student is enrolled in high school. The new law effectively mirrors the laws related to protecting foster youth and homeless children, who are also susceptible to frequent school changes.
