Out of Zone Student Transfer

Families looking to enroll outside of their zoned school should contact the desired school district directly. School transfers require that a student be in good standing academically, behaviorally and not have any truancy issues. Outside of this criteria space in the desired grade level must be available. This makes the process very fluid and the school district the best point of contact for the most up-to-date information. Contact your School Liaison to learn more about the student transfer process.

Military Interstate Compact

The Military Interstate Compact (MIC) is an article of laws to help make transition easier for children of military families so that they may be afforded the same opportunities for educational success as other children and are not penalized or delayed in achieving their educational goals. The MIC provides support with placement, enrollment, extracurricular activities, senior moves and more! The MIC only covers students enrolled in U.S. Public Schools and DoDEA Schools. It does not apply to students enrolled in private schools, homeschools or international schools. Additional information can be found at: www.mic3.net.
