Transfer Requests
Transfer requests are required for students to attend a school other than their “neighborhood school."
Schools are assigned by the parent/guardian's legal address.
Transfer requests are available twice a year:
Spring: March 2 - June 1 (for transfers in 2026-2027)
Winter: November 9 - January 8 (for transfers second semester in 2026-2027)
** THE TRANSFER WINDOW IS CURRENTLY CLOSED**
Summer grace period is available through August 24
Summer Grace Period: June 2 - August 24 (for transfers in 2026-2027)
Per board policy JECC-AR(2), requests "may be considered on a case by case basis after class sizes and staffing have been analyzed and enrollment verication of current and new students [including spring transfer window requests] have been processed."
Notifications of approved or denied transfer requests during the summer grace period will not be processed until after the grace period ends on August 24th. Thank you for your patience.
