Parents may request a student transfer within the district to campuses open to transfers. Please consult the current list of campuses closed to transfers for the 09-10 school year here.

You may further investigate the status of a specific grade level at a campus open to transfers by contacting the office of student administrative services.

You may access the transfer application form for the 2009-2010 school year here. Please complete the appropriate transfer form on your computer, print, sign and deliver or mail to the Office of Student Administrative Services at the address on the top of the form.

The first date the office will accept a transfer form for the 09-10 school year is January 5, 2009. The final day for submission of a transfer request for 09-10 is June 15, 2009.

In many cases to secure a transfer before limits are reached you must apply early. A non-refundable transfer application fee of $50.00 is due at the time of application. Fees are waived for students who provide a copy of their letter confirming qualification for the Free or Reduced Lunch Program. For detailed information concerning the procedures followed on the first day transfer forms are accepted please click here.

Transfers are evaluated considering building capacity, current enrollment, growth projections, boundary issues, renovation projects, teacher allocation (addition or reduction), class sizes, and student’s academic, behavior and attendance history. Some campuses are not open to transfers. A current list of campuses and grade levels open to transfer students is maintained in the office of Student Services.

Transfers are not granted during semesters. The approval of a transfer does not guarantee future transfer approval to the next feeder school. Younger siblings are not guaranteed approval to the same campus and will be evaluated at the time of their request.

Transfers for the first semester must be requested between January 2 (or the first staff work day following the winter break) and June 15 for currently enrolled students. Transfer applications will not be accepted after June 15 for currently enrolled students. Transfers for the second semester may be submitted December 1-December 15.

Transfers will be approved on a first-come first serve basis to available schools. Transfer limits have been set at some campuses. When limits are reached, grade levels and campuses will be closed to transfers. Special consideration may be given to students with severe medical conditions or emergency safety issues, children of full-time Plano ISD staff members, and for students who wish to enroll in a board approved magnet course not offered at their home school.

Transfers may be revoked by the school principal if disciplinary, attendance, or academic problems develop at the new school. The district does not provide bus transportation for transfer students. Transfer students in grades nine through twelve generally forfeit eligibility to participate in extra-curricular competitions for one year from the date of first attending on the new campus.
