A student transfer request may be considered for a family who relocates from one school boundary to another in Fairfax County within the last 90 calendar days of the school year. In these cases, families are requesting that the student remain enrolled in the current school of attendance for the remainder of the school year.

Before starting the application, make sure you have done the following:

• Updated residency documentation (e.g. lease, deed, rental agreement) must be provided to the enrolled school and the address update in the student information system prior to submitting the online student transfer application. 
• The updated residency documentation must also be submitted with the online application. (We suggest that you take a picture with your mobile device or scan the documents and then upload the documents to the application.)The enrolling parent needs to create a Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account. Please contact the enrolled school for an activation key. 
• The enrolling parent needs to create a Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account. Please contact the enrolled school for an activation key.
