Transfer Guidelines:

To receive a transfer, parents must agree to the following stipulations:

1. A transfer approval is for one year only and does not guarantee a continuation at that school for subsequent years.  A transfer application must be submitted each year.
2. A non-refundable processing fee of $25.00 ($10.00 for District employees) per campus is required for each application.  If the transfer is denied, the fee will be refunded.  Please make check or money orders payable to Cypress-Fairbanks I.S.D.
3. The receiving principal may, at any time, revoke the transfer if the student's presence is considered disruptive to the educational process (e.g. discipline or attendance problems).
4. Parent must assume responsibility for transportation of ALL transfer students.
5. High school transfer students are not guaranteed a parking sticker.
6. Transfers are not granted by an ARD or Section 504 committees.
