Choice Transfer

  • Public school students in Washington State may request a transfer from their “home” district, where they reside, to attend school in another public school district, where they do not reside. That is known as a Choice Transfer or out-of-district transfer.

    Students from other school districts can apply for a Choice Transfer if they want to attend a school in Snoqualmie Valley School District. These transfers may be approved on a space-available basis, after transfers within the district have been accommodated. Requests for transfers to schools with space available will be considered for approval in late June.
