Transfer Request

Dear Parents and Guardians:

You and your child are entering the next phase of your student’s educational development. As you know, parental involvement is critical to student success. In addition to welcoming you to the Campbell Union High School District (C.U.H.S.D.), I want you to know how much our staff looks forward to your active participation. Together we can achieve academic and personal success for each member of the Class of 2023.

As Superintendent, I urge you to acquaint yourself with the outstanding programs each of our sites has to offer. It is natural for students and parents to look forward to high school with both excitement and some apprehension. We are here to help you enjoy the feeling of growth and accomplishment that the high school experience has to offer. The closer we work together as partners in your student’s learning, the more meaningful the high school experience will be.

Our policy on intradistrict transfers (transfers within our district) allows your student to attend the high school where you reside or to request a transfer to one of our other schools. Transfers will be granted based on school capacity. If requests exceed a site’s capacity, priority will go to siblings of current students. Applications are available at each high school, the district office and online below.

At this time, two Free Zones exist for Leigh and Branham only. If you reside in the White Oaks/Hogue Park area (Free Zone #1), your residence school is Leigh. If your option is a transfer to Branham, you must apply for the intradistrict transfer. If you reside in the area south of Blossom Hill/East of Camden Avenue (Free Zone #2), your residence school is Branham. If your option is a transfer to Leigh, you must apply for the intradistrict transfer. Free Zone transfers are dependent upon site capacity.

On behalf of the C.U.H.S.D. Board of Trustees, each high school principal and staff member, we look forward to meeting you and your student.

Sincerely,

Robert R. Bravo, Ed.D.

Superintendent

Intradistrict Transfers

Once each year during the transfer request window as noted above, the parents/legal guardians of students who live within the boundaries of the Campbell Union High School District may complete an application (available below) to request a transfer to any other Campbell Union High School District school for the upcoming school year. These are called Intradistrict Transfers and will be granted as long as space exists within the school requested for a new student. Please note the following:

You must enroll your student at your resident high school regardless of a transfer request submission. Please refer to your school's website for enrollment and class selection dates.
You may submit an Intradistrict Transfer request for the upcoming school year during the transfer request window as noted above.
Submission does not guarantee approved acceptance.
Notifications will go out via US mail in March. Please do not call the district office to check the status of your request until after April 1st.
If insufficient space exists, the request will be held until such space becomes available or the end of September. There is no need to reapply or to call the office. You will be notified by U.S. mail should your student be granted the transfer.
Late submissions will be reviewed weekly with response letters to follow.
Any approved transfer may be canceled at any time subject to falsification of information stated on the request application, unsatisfactory grades, attendance or behavior. A review of these conditions will be performed throughout the school year. Students not meeting these agreed conditions may have their transfer immediately revoked.
Applications are available electronically as noted above, .pdf download below, or they may be picked up from the district office or your resident school. You must also include a copy of one proof of residency document, along with the application. Additional residency verification will be performed at the school site as part of the enrollment process and may overturn an approved transfer request. You can download, scan and email your application request and supporting document to intratransferrequest@cuhsd.org
All unapproved requests expire at the end of each September. You will need to reapply during the new transfer request window period if you wish to try again for the next school year.
If approved, the new school becomes your student's home school (unless they do not maintain satisfactory grades, attendance or behavior expectations), and you will not have to reapply unless your student moves from the address you entered on your Intratransfer application or if your student wishes to go back to their resident school.
Reversals: Based on all requests received, resources are planned for all sites for the coming year. Should you decide to go back to your original resident school after an approval has been granted, you will need to submit a new transfer request and the decision will be based solely on capacity.

For Incoming 9th Grade Students

Your resident middle school will have information available in January or February for 8th graders transitioning to high school for the upcoming school year. This will be a time to enroll your student at your resident high school and select classes.
You must enroll at your resident high school even if you have or are wanting to submit either an Intradistrict or Interdistrict transfer application request.
For students currently in alternative education programs, identify and contact your would-be resident middle school to participate in their high school transition process and date(s).
