Prior to a relocation within Fairfax County, transfer requests may be made within 180 calendars days of your relocation into the requested school boundary.

The student should be enrolled in the base school assigned to the address where the family is living at the time of registration, even if the address is temporary.

Before starting the application, please be aware of the following:

• The enrolling parent must upload documentation (PDF document preferred) of the upcoming move into the requested school boundary to include a lease or signed contract with move-in/closing date. If building a home, a letter from the builder with estimated completion date, signed contract, and Fairfax County building permits is required. (Additional documentation may be requested to establish that the new residence is valid and that no other property is a primary residence.)
• The enrolling parent needs to create a Student Information System (SIS) Parent Account. Please contact the enrolled school for an activation key. 

Contact [email protected] for any questions.
