Sequoia Union High School District

As of February 1, 2025, the
Interdistrict Transfer request into SUHSD
window is closed. 

Interdistrict transfers (IDTs) are required to transfer from one district to another; this includes leaving or requesting to enter the Sequoia Union High School District. Below you will find links to additional information on how to complete the process. Please review the appropriate section that corresponds with your desire to transfer out of SUHSD, or transfer into SUHSD. 

 

• IDT requests for the upcoming school year must be received between October 15 - February 1 preceding the school year for which the IDT is sought.
  • These IDTs are reviewed within 30 calendar days of the end of the IDT window.
  • The district will have a response to these IDTs by March 1. 
• IDT requests for the current school year: contact Student Services as these IDTs are only reviewed for students that move outside the district boundaries during the school year.
• Failure to adhere to timelines will be deemed an abandonment of the request
• All IDT requests to enter a SUHSD must include all required attachments in order to be processed.  Incomplete requests will be rejected.
• All approved IDTs require students to remain in good standing, earning above-average grades with positive attendance and behavior; IDTs may be revoked for students in poor standing.
• Students of military families have additional provisions under Assembly Bill (AB) 2949 and Education Code (EC) 48204.6: students meeting certain criteria are permitted to continue attending the student's "school of origin" during that school year, regardless of any change of residence of the military family.

1. Obtain a Release: Students living outside of the Sequoia Union High School District boundary wanting to transfer INTO SUHSD need to direct a letter to their current district of residence (home district) requesting a release. Refer to your home district’s website or contact them for more information so you can understand the entire process; each district often follows different procedures.  If your home district approves your request for a release, the signed and approved release will be forwarded to SUHSD.  Please request a copy of the release to upload with your application.  Release approval by the District of Residence does not guarantee or imply transfer approval by Sequoia Union High School District
2. Submit an “Interdistrict Transfer – Application to Transfer Into SUHSD” form (en Español)
   1. This form is only available during the IDT window (see above)
3. Attachments:
   1. A signed release approval from the District of Residence
   2. A copy of your student’s most recent grades and/or transcript, attendance and behavior report; it is required to have positive attendance, grades, and behavior
   3. A copy of the most recent IEP or 504 plan, if applicable
   4. A letter explaining your reason for requesting an IDT and include any supporting documentation you wish to have evaluated
4. Upon review of the completed application and corresponding attachments, SUHSD will notify you of the district’s decision in writing. As the process involves a number of factors, requests can be delayed.
