• USD 475 students who would like to attend a school outside their boundary area must obtain a transfer form from the school they would like to attend. This must be done every year and approved by the principal.
   
• To make additions or corrections to your child’s emergency contact information, visit your school’s office. Contact information should be kept up to date in Family Access/Skyward.

If you want to transfer your student from your assigned school to another school in the district, please enroll your student in the school that you would like for them to attend. You may then contact either your transfer school or the district office for a Transfer Request Form.  Our primary preference is that students attend their boundary assigned school – this helps keep class sizes manageable so adequate teacher staffing can be assigned.

Please note that schools have a maximum number of students that can be accepted.

We do understand that various circumstances may result in a request for a transfer to another school within the District, or a student may be transferring into USD 475 from another school district.

The criteria used to determine if a request may be granted is based on:

• Neighborhood school assignment
• Class Size (space is available in the desired school)
• Safety/Special needs
• Whether a student has attended the school in previous years
• Sibling attends same school
• Student attendance and behavior are in good standing at currently enrolled school
• Logistic issues exist for the family (i.e., child care, transportation)
• Family is on housing list for Fort Riley

(Note: Parents/Guardians that transfer to a school outside of their boundary assigned school are responsible for transportation to and from school.)
