Sibling at Requested School Applications

• The sibling(s) must be living in the same household for student transfer consideration. 
• Sibling relationship 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.

Let’s Get Started!

1. Access the online student transfer application.
2. Type  in your username and password that corresponds to the enrolling parent Student Information (SIS) Account. 
   
     
3. If your child appears under the enrolling parent (green) bar, select “Start a transfer request.” 
   
   • Select “Renew Request” instead of “Start a transfer request” if you are requesting a renewal of a student transfer and your student continues to meet the same student transfer criteria as indicated in the original student transfer application.
   • If your child appears under the viewing parent (burgundy) tab then you may not proceed with application submission.  The enrolling parent needs to submit the application on behalf of the family. 
     
4. Select “Sibling at another school” as the reason for transfer request. (Also, make sure the correct school year has been selected.)
   
   
5. The online application will identify sibling attending a non-base school. Select sibling.
   
   
6. Check the four boxes at the bottom to agree to the Letter of Understanding. 
   
   
7. Review the application for accuracy and select "Pay Online Now" to pay the non-refundable application processing fee.
   
   
8. You will be directed to MySchoolBucks where you can create an account, use a current account or continue as a guest.
   
   
9. Review the application and select “Submit.” 

The enrolling parent will receive an email confirming the transfer application submission.

Please allow 2-3 weeks to process the request. The enrolling parent will receive a decision email when the process is completed.
