Annual Renewal Required:

• Out-of-district enrollment is approved for one school year at a time. You'll need to renew your CHOICE transfer each year if your student wants to continue at WSD.
• Stay Enrolled Until Approved
• Students should remain enrolled at their current resident district until they receive an acceptance letter from WSD.

Space & Eligibility:

• While we welcome out-of-district students, space may be limited in some grades or schools. We prioritize:
• Students with positive academic and behavioral records
• Available space that doesn't displace resident students
• Students who can commit to regular attendance and engagement

We may need to deny requests if:

• The student's disciplinary record includes serious behavioral concerns, expulsions, or suspensions exceeding 10 consecutive days
• Enrollment would displace a WSD resident student
• Space is not available at the requested grade level
• Other circumstances outlined in Policy 3141

Maintaining Your Choice Transfer Status:

Once enrolled, students are expected to maintain good attendance, follow school expectations, and make satisfactory academic progress. Transfers may be revoked at the end of a grading period if significant issues arise, including chronic attendance problems, disciplinary concerns, or overcrowding.
