Note:  When a student is granted an interdistrict transfer for the school requested, they will attend that school until they complete the highest grade level at that school as long as the conditions of approval listed above are met. (i.e. highest grade level at elementary is fifth (5th) grade and highest grade level at middle school is eighth (8th) grade.)  Upon completion of the highest grade level at your assigned school, you are automatically enrolled in a middle school or high school, whichever is the case, designated by the District, not based on the elementary school or middle school your student is currently attending.  If you wish to apply for a change of your student’s designated school, you will need to submit an intradistrict transfer request form for consideration at our Enrollment Center, located at 7 West Delaware Avenue, Redlands, CA 92374 between the hours of 7:30 am and 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.  The intradistrict transfer application period is January 15 – February 15.  These transfers are granted on the basis of space availability, student attendance, behavior, and grades. 

NOTICE:  Trying out for a team/squad prior to your transfer being approved or denied: 
If a student has applied for a transfer and tries out for a team or program at the new school, it may be prior to their transfer being approved or denied to that new school.

If your student makes the team or program at the new school, it will have no bearing on the acceptance of the student transfer. Transfers are based solely on space availability, student attendance, behavior, and grades.

Also, it is recommended that students NOT purchase uniform/equipment or materials related to the new school’s team or program prior to being notified that their transfer has been approved. Making this purchase is at your own risk, as neither the school nor the team nor program will be responsible for reimbursement if your student’s transfer is denied.
