    Interdistrict Transfers (Outgoing / Incoming)

    (Outgoing) An interdistrict transfer is a transfer from San Juan Unified School District to a different school district.

    • To transfer to a district outside of San Juan Unified School District, fill out the ITP below, have it signed by the San Juan Director of Enrollment, and take it to your new district.  
    • Interdistrict Transfer Permit (Fillable)

     

    (Incoming) An interdistrict transfer is also a transfer from an outside district into San Juan Unified School District.

    • To transfer from an outside district to San Juan Unified School District, please follow the steps below:

                  

    1. Secure an Interdistrict Transfer Permit (ITP) from the district you are leaving, fill it out and make a copy for yourself, then turn in one completed copy to the district from which you are requesting the release.
    2. Take your copy of the ITP, upload it to the ITP transfer form through PowerSchool and answer all the questions.  The ITP you upload does not need to be signed by the releasing district, but before we process the request we will need to receive a signed copy from the district with the release being granted.  This is done by the school district, not you.
