Intradistrict Transfers

In order to balance enrollment between schools, the district limits transfers to any particular school based on current and projected enrollment compared with building capacity. Schools where enrollment exceeds or is projected to exceed building capacity by at least 5 percent are closed to most transfer requests.
Elementary school students (grades K-5) may request a transfer from one District 196 elementary school to another based on the following situations: 

• Daycare - if the student will be receiving daycare in the attendance area of a school other than
  the student's designated school.
• Intent to change residency - if the student's parent or guardian intends to move to a new residence within the school year and designates a mailing address for their new residence.
• Parent/Guardian/Adult Student Request – based on space available in the requested school
