General Informationtitle
Interdistrict transfers (IDT) 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.
- SUHSD annually accepts IDT requests from November 15 - February 1 for possible enrollment in subsequent school years
- IDT decisions will be made within 30 calendar days of receipt
- Failure to adhere to timelines will be deemed an abandonment of the request
- 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
Interdistrict Transfer INTO SUHSD
SUHSD AR 5117: "Applications for interdistrict attendance shall be submitted to the district office by February 1 of the year preceding the school year for which the student may be transferred. The application deadline may be waived upon agreement between the district and the district of residence."
- Applications must include a signed release approval from the District of Residence prior to submitting this application. Interdistrict Transfer applications that are incomplete or contain incorrect information will not be processed and will be returned. Release approval by the District of Residence does not guarantee or imply transfer approval by Sequoia Union High School District
- Please note that IDT requests are approved for the school district, not for a particular school site. If approved, SUHSD will enroll your student at a school site based on space and availability.
- Applications for transfer into SUHSD should be submitted by February 1 for consideration for the following school year (AR 5117)
- If this is a new request, please attach a copy of your student’s most recent grades and/or transcript
- A complete transfer request contains two components:
- A signed and approved release from the home district (district of residence)
- A completed and submitted “Interdistrict Transfer – Application to Transfer Into SUHSD” form
Instructions for completing request for transfer INTO SUHSD:
- 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 the Sequoia Union High School District, Department of Student Services
- Please complete an “Interdistrict Transfer – Application to Transfer Into SUHSD” form and submit in person, mail, or electronically, to:
Sequoia Union High School District
Attn: Jarrett Dooley, Director of Student Services
480 James Avenue
Redwood City, CA 94062
- Upon review of the received release and corresponding application, SUHSD will notify you of the district’s decision in writing. As the process involves a number of factors, please allow 7-10 business days for a response
Requirements and Information for Interdistrict Transfers:
- Interdistrict transfer applications that are incomplete or contain incorrect information will not be processed and will be returned. Applications that are submitted without a corresponding release approval by home district will not be evaluated due to being incomplete, and will be returned
- Release approval by the home district does not guarantee or imply transfer approval by Sequoia Union High School District
