Priority transfer requests will be notified of a decision in early February.
Middle & High School Transfers
Existing Transfers
Transfers are approved up to the highest grade level at the school. If your child received an intradistrict transfer for the 2024/2025 school year, you need to be aware that there are options available to you for the 2025/2026 school year.
- Elementary transfers expire in 6th grade (for K-8 schools, transfers expire in 8th grade)
- Middle School transfers expire in 8th grade
- High School transfers don’t expire
New Transfers
Students who currently reside within the VUSD boundaries may apply for a transfer in any VUSD school that will be granted only if the requested school has space available for additional students.
Transfers are only allowed for the start of the beginning of each school year. There are no transfers permitted during the school year.
Students wanting to transfer from another district to VUSD, need to apply for an interdistrict agreement from their district of residence first. If approved, the district of residence will then send the interdistrict agreement to VUSD. Renewals for inter district transfers must reapply with the district of residence on an annual basis.
VUSD offers a specific period of time to allow for parents to submit a transfer request for the following school year.
