Thank you!
I had apply for one calendar option and two transfers. I have some questions. Does my aplication to the transfers can affect the calendar aplication? And do you know what's the chance to get in the calendar option? considering my child is on pre-k at that school.
Thank you so much .
I have a question regarding school transfers. My child currently attends his base school for our rental house. We just bought a house that has a different base school. We'd like to transfer him for the start of next school year. A realtor told us that when the house closes he will need to attend the new school immediately. I would rather have him stay in his current class to finish the year (and we will provide transportation.) Does anyone have experience with this?
Thank you!

I know that they process the calendar application first. If you get into your calendar option, then they completely ignore the fact that you applied for a transfer also. If you don't get into your calendar option, then they will consider your transfer application. As for your chances on getting into calendar, those are usually granted but definitely depends on the school. If your calendar option is very very crowded and chosen by tons of parents, you may not get in. If the school does NOT have enough open slots for everyone who requests it, they will grant seats according to the following selection criteria (looks like having a child in pre-k does help!)

He will not need to attend the new school immediately! The following link specifically states "Families with a change of address can remain at their current school if they provide their own transportation or can enroll in the base school for the family’s new address."
In your case I'd call the office of student assignment just to find the easiest method to switch him for next year. More than likely, they will suggest that you participate in the early transfer period for NEXT year to go ahead and get him switched over. He will initially be a transfer student with no transportation, but as soon as you go in with your new address information they will switch him to being a base student. I am actually moving in May and am going through something very similar. I would call them though just to verify 100%.
