What information do I need to transfer my student?
- Basic student/residential information
- Valid proof of residency
- Discipline report
- Attendance report
- Most recent grade report out of district only
Do I need to request a transfer every year?
No - If your child already has an approved transfer and is staying at the same campus, you do not need to apply again. They can stay there through the highest grade as long as they continue to follow all transfer rules.
Yes - You must apply again if your child is moving to a new campus they are not zoned or have completed the highest grade offered at the current campus (for example: going from 5th → 6th grade or 8th → 9th grade).
- Once a transfer is approved for 9th grade, it stays in place through graduation, as long as your child meets transfer requirements.
What is the “transfer window”?
The transfer window is the only time that transfers are processed for Crowley ISD. This generally occurs in the spring for the following school year. Board policy does not allow general transfers during the school year.
I heard Crowley ISD is an open district, is this true?
Yes, Crowley ISD is an open district allowing out of district students to attend with an approved transfer. Transfers are granted on a case-by-case basis, depending on various campus and district considerations and must be requested during the transfer window.
When can I transfer my student to a different campus?
Student transfers are only processed during the transfer window.
Can I request a transfer for multiple campuses?
No. If you submit duplicate requests, they will be denied.
When will I receive a response for my transfer application to my requested campus?
It can take 10 business days to receive an answer.
How will I know if/when the transfer has been processed?
You will get an email confirming your application was received.
- Check your spam/junk folder.
- If you never receive an email, your email address may be incorrect, or the application may not have been submitted. Log in to check.
- After your application is reviewed, you will get another email with the decision.
What factors are considered when deciding on a transfer?
Schools look at:
- Space at the school
- Space in the grade level
- Staffing
- Student needs (current and new students requesting a transfer)
I can’t move forward in the application because I don’t have the documents. What do I do?
You must upload the required documents before the transfer window closes. Applications cannot be completed or accepted without them.
My child is in PK3 at a Crowley ISD campus. Can their siblings attend the same school?
Siblings may apply for a transfer to attend the same campus. However, approval is not guaranteed. PK3 is considered a choice program and is available only at certain campuses.
