Transfer Procedures

Any new request to transfer outside of the home school attendance area must be submitted through the Office of Leadership and Learning.

If your transfer request has been initiated by a change of address, please contact your student's current school for instructions on how to apply for a transfer. 

If you are requesting a transfer for other reasons, you must go through the annual transfer window.  The in-district transfer window for the 2026-2027 school year is closed.  Please contact the Office of Leadership and Learning for the dates of the next in-district transfer window.

If you are applying for a transfer during the in-district window, your student must be fully enrolled in order for you to access the transfer application on Skyward. In order for your transfer request to be considered, the Office of Leadership and Learning must receive the following before the window closes:

  • a complete enrollment for your student
  • a submitted transfer application through Skyward
  • school records 
    • must be for the previous two school years
    • must be sent directly from the previous school to TransferRecords@smsd.org
    • must include grades, itemized attendance, and discipline records
      • if there is no discipline record, have school send confirmation of no discipline record

It is the parent's/guardian's responsibility to ensure that the Office of Leadership and Learning has received all of the required transfer materials before the window closes.  The Office of Leadership and Learning will not send notifications for incomplete records and incomplete applications will not be considered.

In-district transfer approvals and denials will be communicated by the Office of Leadership and Learning.
 

Students in good standing who are currently attending on transfer and wish to continue at the same school do not need to reapply.
