Transfers

A special transfer window is a dedicated time of year to apply for student transfers into the District or to other campuses within the Arlington Independent School District.

For example, if your student attends Amos Elementary, but you’d like them to be enrolled at Berry Elementary, you can apply for a transfer for the 2020-2021 school year. If seats are available, your child may be able to attend your preferred school.

Yes, there are two types of transfer windows:

1. The annual Regular Transfer Window generally happens in the fall semester of each year and students are considered based on a Board-approved priority order where there is space available.
2. The Special Transfer Window can open at any time after the annual Regular Transfer Window. During this Special Transfer Window, students are considered on a “first come-first served” basis where space is available. An exception to this is a sibling transfer to a specialized program.

Yes, the Arlington ISD is an open enrollment district and will consider student transfers from inside and outside of the District.

• The Special Transfer Window opens at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8.

• The Special Transfer Window closes at 4 p.m. on Friday, September 18.

No, there is no transfer fee.

All applications for the Special Transfer Window (including those from employees) will be considered on a first come - first served basis according to the digital timestamp on the application. That means that applications will be considered in the order they’re received. An exception to this is a sibling transfer to a specialized program.

During the annual Regular Transfer Window that occurs in the fall semester, Arlington ISD employees are given the first priority to transfer their child/ren to the District. The Special Transfer Window is a first come - first served opportunity.

Yes, you can request transfers for up to three schools.

Specialized Programs will be open for application at the Elementary level ONLY.

Email offers will be sent during or shortly after the close of the Transfer window.  We encourage you to check your School Mint application for status changes as well as monitor your email/text messages for offers during this time.  Once a school is selected, all other schools will be withdrawn from consideration.  Wait List indicates that no seats are available at the requested school.  Offered indicates the school/grade is available and may be accepted for your child.

Check the status of your transfer request in School Mint.

IMPORTANT:

You will have 48 hours from the time Arlington ISD sends you the email to accept or reject the transfer. If you do not respond within 48 hours, the district will no longer consider the request valid. 

Transfers will be automatically renewed for those currently on transfer.
