In-District Transfer
🚩
[ 2024-2025 School Year ]
In-District Transfer Request Applications
Open May 1, 2024
--------------------------------------------
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.
- Once a request is approved, a student is considered admitted to that school for the remainder of the student’s tenure in that school. As such, a student need not reapply annually unless they are moving from elementary to middle. If there are multiple students in a family that want to request an in-district transfer to another school, a form needs to be completed for each student and only one school at each level can be requested.
- In-district transfer requests for the next school year will be accepted on or after May 1st through May 31. Any in-district applications that are received after this period will be put on a “waitlist.”
- Determinations related to in-district requests made prior to the beginning of a school year will be made as quickly as possible after new student registration occurs, and no later than the 11th day of the start of school after consideration for enrollment of students in the current attendance area, class size limits, and building capacity.
- 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.
Please complete the In-District Transfer Request Form thoroughly and be aware of the following:
- Transportation to and from school becomes the parent’s responsibility if a request is granted.
- While child care hardships may be considered, there is no guarantee that a transfer request will be honored solely based on child care. Also, documentation from the child care provided may be requested.
- Providing false information will be grounds for denial of the application
