Transfers

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.

A regular transfer window is a dedicated time of year to apply for student transfers to campuses within the Arlington Independent School District for the 2021-2022 school year. Students from in or out of the district can apply for transfers during this window, and transfer requests will be granted in the following priority order as outlined in Arlington ISD Board Policy:

1. Children of full-time employees (other than substitute or temporary employees).
2. City of Arlington residents who reside outside of district boundaries
3. All other non-resident requests for transfer.

Students who go to school outside the Arlington ISD can request a transfer to a school in the Arlington ISD – or – students who go to school inside the Arlington ISD can request a transfer to a different school in the Arlington ISD. If seats are available, your child may be able to attend your preferred school.

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, the Arlington ISD is an open enrollment district and will consider student transfers from inside and outside of the district using the priority order outlined in Arlington ISD Board Policy during the Regular window.

The Special Transfer Window typically opens each Spring and after the start of school in the fall.

No, there is no transfer fee.

All applications during the Regular Transfer Window will be considered based on the following priority order as outlined in Arlington ISD Board Policy:

1. Children of full-time employees (other than substitute or temporary employees).
2. City of Arlington residents who reside outside of district boundaries
3. All other non-resident requests for transfer.

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.

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

Specialized Programs have specific enrollment dates.

Those dates may be reviewed on the website at www.aisd.net/specializedprograms.

Email offers will be sent during or within one week after the close of the Transfer window. You can check your School Mint application for status changes and 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.

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.

Violations of the District’s rules and regulations may result in revocation of the transfer agreement.
