Home / School News / School Change Requests for 2023-2024

 

Dear Families,

Beginning on January 23, 2023, families who have students who have been force transferred to Savory school (placed here due to space constraints at their in-catchment school) must submit a School Change Request (SCR) form to return to their in-catchment school.

Families that would like to request a change to an out of catchment school may also apply at this time. Priority will be given to students who have been force transferred and would like to return to their in-catchment school.

Please note SCRs will not be reviewed until after Spring Break. Schools will respond by June 1, 2023, whether or not the change request can be accommodated.

School Change Request Process

  1. Submit a SCHOOL CHANGE REQUEST
  2. Dates: January 23 – February 3, 2023
    • Open to students who were force transferred to an overflow school by the district or made the choice to leave their in-catchment school and would like to return.
    • Open to students who are requesting a transfer to an out of catchment school.

Important Information

A critical piece you should note when considering a School Change Request is district provided transportation services

  1. If you decide not to apply for a SCR you will no longer be considered a “force transfer” student. By not submitting a SCR to return to your in-catchment school, you will be choosing to continue at your current school through personal choice. As a result, you will be ineligible for district provided transportation services.
  2. If you apply for a SCR but are not successful in receiving a seat at your in-catchment school your child will again be considered a “force transfer” and you will be eligible for district provided transportation services.
  3. If you apply for a SCR and are successful you can still apply for district provided transportation services. However, transportation registration is dependent on your primary home address and whether safe walking routes have been identified by the Transportation Department.
  4. If you apply for an out of catchment school and are successful, you are making a personal choice to attend an out of catchment school and ineligible for district provided transportation services.
