In-District Transfer

2023-2024
In-District Transfer Applications
March 20 – April 14
--------------------------------------------
What is an In-District Transfer? Parents who wish to transfer their child from their 'home' school in Moses Lake to another school within the Moses Lake School District should complete this form. Requests for Transfers are not guaranteed. Transfers from outside of the district should apply for Choice Transfer.
- All current In-District Transfer students will be returned to their neighborhood school and will need to complete the new In-District Transfer Application for the 2023-2024 school year if they wish to change schools. Additionally, each student will need their own request form and parents/guardians may only request 1 (one) school to transfer into.
- The open window for submitting the In-District Transfer Request for the 2023-2024 school year is March 20 - April 14. Any in-district applications that are received after this period will be put on a “waitlist” and will not be considered during the transfer acceptance meeting this spring.
- For grades 1 through 8, parents will be notified of the transfer request decisions (approval/denial) by May 15. Transfer decisions for Kindergarten students will not happen until July 1st. Late notice is necessary to ensure that students who reside within the school boundaries have registered and transfer acceptance does not create class overloads.
- Because class size limits cannot be exceeded, appeals will not be heard if a student’s transfer application is denied due to lack of space availability. To put it simply, we cannot make a class “less full” in order to accept more kids.
Please complete the In-District Transfer Request Form thoroughly and please be aware of the following:
- Transportation to and from school becomes the parent’s responsibility
- While child care hardships may be considered, there is no guarantee that a transfer request will be honored solely based on child care (confirmation may be required from child care provider)
- Transfer requests may be denied or revoked if the student has problems with attendance, tardiness, discipline, or if continued enrollment poses a risk to the health or safety of other students or staff
- Providing false information will be grounds for denial of the application
