About School Choice Transfers

The Cerrato School District School Choice Transfer Application period for the 2019-2020 school year has officially begun. Between now and Thursday, January 31, 2019, parents of any current or incoming students who wish to attend a CSD school other than his or her home school of residence for the 2019-2020 school year should fill out a School Choice Transfer Application.  Initial application notifications will take place Thursday, March 14, 2019.

Interested families may complete a School Choice Transfer Application in person at the CSD Student Services office located at 2222 Orangethorpe Ave., Utopia, CA 92870. A second opportunity to submit a School Choice Transfer Application will take place from May 1, 2019 to May 10, 2019; however, do not delay. Transfer approvals are subject to space availability. In any situation where the number of requests exceeds the space available, approval of transfers will be determined by a random and unbiased selection process.

Please note, CSD school sites do not distribute nor accept School Choice Transfer Applications. Families who currently have a School Choice Transfer in place through middle school do not need to submit a new application. Once a student has been approved to their school of choice, that school becomes their designated school of attendance. This transfer will remain in effect through middle school. However, current 8th graders attending a middle school on a School Choice Transfer will need to reapply if they wish to attend a CSD high school other than his or her home school of residence.

If you require further clarification about School Choice Transfers, please contact the CSD Student Services Department at (123) 456-7890.
