Student Transfers

⛔ GRANITE HILLS SCHOOL ENROLLMENT CLOSED

Granite Hills School has reached its physical capacity of 950 students. Enrollment and all transfer requests (including DLI, employee children, intra-district, and inter-district) are strictly closed.

Overview & Procedures

The Romoland School District (RSD) offers 2 types of transfers. Approval for both is a conditional privilege based on school capacity and student standing.

I. Choose Your Transfer Type

1. Intradistrict Transfers

To request attendance at a school outside of your neighborhood attendance zone, families must submit a request during one of our two official application windows via the Aeries Parent Portal.

Requirement: Students must be fully registered and enrolled at their school of residence before a transfer request can be processed.
How to Apply: All requests must be submitted through Informed K12.

Windows for 2027-2028:
- Priority Transfer Window: January 13 – February 26, 2027. Top priority placement consideration for upcoming school year seats.
- Standard Processing Window (spring): March 1 – June 30, 2027. First-come, first-served processing based on remaining capacity.
- Summer PAUSE: July 1 – August 27, 2027. Review freeze for residency verification and fall capacity assessment.
- Standard Processing Window (Fall/Winter): August 30 – December 17, 2027. Mid-year requests processed on a rolling, space-available basis.
- ⚠️ Important Notice – Annual Transfer Renewal Requirement: All approved transfers are valid for one school year only and do not grant permanent attendance. Because RSD is experiencing growth, all transfer students must reapply annually during the either Enrollment window and are subject to capacity reviews; failure to reapply or an impacted school site will result in the student returning to their neighborhood school of residence.

2. Interdistrict Transfers (District to District)

For families moving INTO or OUT OF the Romoland School District.

Coming INTO RSD: Begin the process by requesting a "Release Permit" from your District of Residence. Once they approve the release, they will send the paperwork to RSD for our review.
Leaving RSD: Download the "Interdistrict Transfer Form" from the Resources section (right) or visit the District Office (Pupil Services) for a printed copy to request a release from Romoland.
Validity: Approved Interdistrict transfers are valid for one school year and must be re-submitted annually.

II. Terms of Maintenance

Approval is subject to space availability within programs, grade levels, and school sites. Once approved, a transfer is a conditional agreement that may be revoked at any time for any of the following reasons:

Attendance: Student is excessively tardy, is absent from school, or is dropped off/picked up outside of designated school hours.
Behavior: Student fails to uphold appropriate behavior standards or citizenship.
Academics: Student fails to make appropriate academic efforts (Education Code 35160.5).
Impact (Capacity): Insufficient space in the school and/or grade level due to enrollment growth.

Notice of Revocation

If a transfer is revoked, the District or School Site will issue a 10-Day Drop Letter. This serves as formal notice that the student will be disenrolled. Parents/guardians must enroll the student in their assigned school of residence by the end of this 10-day period to ensure no gap in educational services.
