Student Transfer Frequently Asked Questions

  • What if I file an Intra/Inter-District transfer request and then I change my mind?

    Posted by:

    A transfer request may be rescinded in writing by the parent/guardian any time before the student begins attending the school providing there is space available. The parent/guardian should contact Student Services at (925) 606-3206 if you have any questions or concerns.

  • Why was my request for a transfer not approved when the school told me they have space available?

    Posted by:

    Grade-level capacity at each school is established yearly based upon many factors, including staffing, availability of facilities, and growth. Schools cannot give a guarantee that there is definitely space and the application is approved. All approvals come from the District Student Services Department.

  • When will I know if my Inter-District request has been approved?

    Posted by:

    Current requests are processed weekly and parents will be notified once their application has been approved or sent to the receiving District. Typically this process can take up to 2 weeks. For new requests for the up-coming school year, you should hear by the second week in August of the decision.

  • Do I need to fill an application out for the next school year?

    For continuing students: Unless a student is transitioning from elementary to middle, or middle to high school, applications are not required for following school year. This means if they are continuing at your school, and they have a signed approved application on file, they are fine and do not need to reapply. For new students: New requests for students requesting an Inter- District transfer request into our District are currently being accepted. Be sure that your student is enrolled in their school of residence until you receive written notification that your request was approved. Students residing outside Alameda County will have to re-apply every school year.
