Important Information

• If your child is currently on an Intradistrict Transfer and will remain at the same school next year - there is no need to reapply.
• If your child is entering transitional kindergarten, 6th or 9th grade, you need to apply for an Intradistrict Transfer for the following school year if you want your child to attend a school other than their school of residence.
• Only applications received during Open Enrollment will be considered in the random assignment process for Intradistrict school placement.  This is not a "first come, first served" situation.  All applications that are date stamped within the Open Enrollment period are given the same consideration within their priority categories.
• Online Intradistrict Transfer application forms will be submitted electronically this year. However, paper applications will still be available for families without internet access and will be available upon request.
• Paper applications are available at OUSD Educational Support Services, 2080 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, CA 92058
• Parents will be notified by the end of May (subject to change) of the decision, either by email or mail via the address provided on the application. Please note, due to high traffic and phone call volume, staff will not be able to return calls regarding applications.  Therefore, we ask that you please DO NOT call to check on the progress of your application.
• Transportation is not provided for any student approved for Intradistrict Transfer.
• There will NOT be an appeal process for Intradistrict Transfers.These transfers are approved on the basis of space availability at the school of desired attendance. 
• Submitting an application does not guarantee enrollment in the desired school. The School Board has approved a random and unbiased process to determine individual selection rankings.  Placement will depend on space availability at the desired site.
