Intradistrict Transfers

Under certain circumstances, we offer the opportunity for students to attend another school in our district other than their home school. Intradistrict Transfers are governed by our district’s Board Policy 5116.1. You must first register at your home school and then apply for an Intradistrict Transfer. Requests will only be approved based on space availability at the school requested in our district. Priority will be granted to requests made specifically for the Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary Science and Gardening Education (SAGE) Program. Intradistrict Transfer Applications for the 2024-25 school year will be accepted between January 26 - April 1, 2024.

INTRA District Transfer Options for Families

Interdistrict Transfers Into the District

Students from another district wishing to attend a school in the Soquel Union Elementary School District must complete an Interdistrict Transfer Request from their district of residence. These requests will be approved based on space available at the school requested in our district. We will begin accepting Interdistrict Transfers into the District for the 2024-25 school year on January 26, 2024.

Interdistrict Transfers Out of the District

Students may request a transfer out of the district to a school in another school district. In accordance with Board Policy 5117, the Superintendent or designee may limit the number of student transfers out of the district to a school district of choice based on the percentages of average daily attendance specified in Education Code 48037.

The InterDistrict Transfer Forms are now fillable on the computer. Please complete ALL the sections that apply to you in detail. Print so you may sign the form then scan and email back to Jen Del Carlo at the District Office. If you are unable to scan and email you may return the completed form to the District Office. A letter will be mailed to you once the process has been completed. Thank you.
