District News & Announcements
No School on Monday, November 11th
Our schools and offices will be closed on Monday, November 11th, in observance of Veteran's Day.
2025-2026 Intra-District Transfer Window Now Open
The Intra-district transfer application period for the 2025-2026 school year is now open. Applications will be accepted through Friday, December 20, 2024. Please note there are strict timelines for accepting applications, and no application will be accepted after the deadline of December 20th. 

If you wish to enroll your child in a school that is outside of your residential area for the upcoming school year (2025-2026), you must submit the Intra-District Transfer Request form. If your child has already been approved for an intra-district transfer, you don't need to fill out a new form every year. The form needs to be submitted only when your child would naturally transition to a new school.

Forms are available to download on our website, or they can be picked up at your school office.
