Transfer Process
-
After applying for a transfer, applicants will submit the required records to studenttransfers@pfisd.net.
Students must meet eligibility requirements in order to be considered for a transfer. After student records are reviewed, admission of out-of-district applicants may be approved if campus staff and space are available. If space is not available, you may elect to apply to another campus that is accepting transfer applications. District transportation is not available to out-of-district students.
Once an out-of-district student receives approval to enroll, they may attend their chosen school for that current year. They will reapply annually to stay at their chosen campus.
