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

• The enrolling parent needs to create a Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account. Please contact the enrolled school for an activation key. 
• Students new to FCPS must be registered at a base school as identified by FCPS Boundary Locator before starting the student transfer application.

Sibling at Requested School Applications

• The sibling(s) must be living in the same household for student transfer consideration. 
• Sibling relationships will be verified in the Student Information System.
• Parents will receive a guidance message if a school is closed to student transfers or if a sibling is not enrolled in a non-base school.
