In-District Student Transfer

In-district students who wish to attend a school other than their attendance area school in 2010-11 need to submit their Intra-District Transfer Application by January 10, 2010 or the next school business day.

Transfer applications are available in the main office at all schools or from the receptionist at the district office.

In the past, some schools have reached enrollment capacity and have been unable to accept intra district transfers. Again, this is a possibility for the 2010-11 school year.

This is an annual process that must be completed whether or not a student is already on a transfer. Students already attending PAGE do not need to submit a waiver renewal. For additional information, contact Director of Student Learning Barb Pope at (253) 841-1301.

Out-of-District Student Choice

Students who live out of the district and are currently enrolled in the Puyallup School District must complete a “Non-Resident Enrollment Application.” A “Release of Attendance” from the resident school district is required and must accompany the application form.

In-district and out-of-district applications should be submitted to Barb Pope at 302 2nd St. S.E., Puyallup, WA 98372 by January 10, 2010 or the next school business day for optimal consideration.

Athletic Eligibility for Transfer Students

Prior to registering with and/or attending a high school, any student granted an intra-district transfer of schools within the school district for board-approved reasons is permitted to participate in sports at the transfer school with full athletic eligibility. Any high school student athlete who rescinds the transfer and enrolls in a different district high school is athletically ineligible for varsity sports for one calendar year (from the enrollment date).
