Understanding the School Transfer Process

  • The Parent or Guardian must complete the e-form below to initiate the request. Please be sure to add all details necessary to help the reviewer understand the reason for the requested transfer. Completion of this form does not guarantee a transfer.


    2. Once the form is submitted, it will be reviewed by the Transfer Review Committee.  The committee meets once a month to review all requests. If needed, School Administrators may be consulted to gain full detail and background. (It normally takes 1 week after the Transfer Review Committee meets for a response); during the period of review children must regularly attend school.

    3. Once a decision is rendered, the Parent or Guardian will receive communication around the transfer decision. Please allow up to up to 1 week after the Transfer Review Committee meeting for a decision to be rendered. If the request is denied and there are unaddressed concerns please contact your child’s school principal.
