If a student moves to another school district, we request that the parent or guardian go to the school secretary to obtain a transfer card. The name and address of the new school and the new home address of the student are necessary. After all books are returned to teachers, teacher signatures obtained, and obligations met, the student will be issued a transfer card, current  grades, immunization records and standardized scores. Official school records will be forwarded to the new school upon written request by the receiving school.
