School Contacts Parents Or Independent Student

Parents or independent students are notified by April 8​ if the transfer has been approved, and to which school.

Messages are sent to the email address(es) on file with the school.

6

Parent Or Independent Student Acceptance

If Transfer is Available

  • The parents or independent student will have two (2) calendar days to respond to the school to accept the transfer.
  • If no response is received within two ​days, the student will be registered at their regular designated school for the next school year.
  • If the request is declined by one or more parent/guardian, the student will be registered at their regular designated school for the next school year.

If You Accept the Transfer

  • You must continue with your program or course through to the 30 level. If you do not continue with the selected program or course you will be placed in your regular designated school.
  • You are responsible for all transportation arrangements or any other expenses associated with attending a non-designated school.

Ineligible Requests

We want students to be able to access their desired program or sequence of courses, whenever possible.

To best enable this, we will NOT accept requests for other reasons, such as athle​tic programs, specializations within a course (such as string instruments in band), or requests for siblings to attend the same high school.

Find Your Designated School

Each CBE student is designated to a high school based on their home address on file with the CBE.
