Interdistrict Transfers
A parent or legal guardian of a student residing outside of the SRVUSD school boundary may request a transfer for that student to this district from another by obtaining an Approved Interdistrict Transfer Request form from their resident school district office. Please be sure to hold your student's enrollment space at your resident school district until you receive an official transfer decision notification from our Student Services department. If you have moved to a residence within the SRVUSD boundary you do not need an interdistrict transfer to have your student enrolled in our district, please follow the instructions listed on the Enrollment page of our district website.
Please go to your resident school district office and obtain an inter district transfer approval to SRVUSD. Your school district will send the request to our offices to be reviewed. Please send the required documents listed below via fax to 925-837-2605 or scan to our Student Services staff.
- Transcripts/Grades
- Discipline Records from previous school
- Attendance Records from previous school
Approval will be granted based on space availability and the review of the above documentation. If approval is granted, school placement is at the sole discretion of the Student Services Director and department. Status will not be available prior to official notification.
If approval is granted, you will be notified by email to begin the SRVUSD enrollment process. Information regarding this process can be found on the Enrollment page of our district website.
