Parents can submit transfer requests starting Jan. 11 for the following school year. Here’s the process:
Request the in-district student transfer form from the school you want to attend and return it to the school you want to attend. When school buildings are closed, you can also download a fillable form and return it via email to the boundaries department.
The staff will record the date and time on the application form when it is received by the school and forward it for release to the resident school.
The resident principal will release the student and forward the form back to the principal at the requested school.
The principal at the requested school will accept the transfer or deny it and mark the reason for denial.
The requested school will send copies of the form to the appropriate persons or schools.
For 8th-grade students who want to attend a high school other than their resident high school, the process is:
Request the in-district student transfer form from the current middle school.
Return the completed form to the requested high school with the registration papers.
Staff will record the date and time on the application form when it is received by the school.
Out-of-district student transfer procedures
The process for out-of-district transfers is different than the in-district transfer process. Students who wish to transfer out of the Battle Ground School District need to fill out the choice transfer form and then return it electronically.
