Student Transfer Information

Choosing a school is an important decision for your family. Below you’ll find a simple guide to transfer types, how to submit a request, and what to expect during the process.

Types of Transfers

Intra-District Transfer

Want your child to attend another school within Menifee Union School District instead of your assigned school?
This is the option for you.

Inter-District Transfer

Want your child to attend a school outside Menifee Union School District, or do you live outside MUSD and want to enroll here?
This is the process you’ll use.

Important Reminder:
If you live outside MUSD and want to attend a school inside MUSD, you must first request an Inter-District Transfer from your district of residence.
For incoming and outgoing requests, both districts must approve before enrollment can occur.

Helpful Forms

These forms support certain transfer reasons:

• Verification of Employment Form (LINK)
  For families using “School District Employee.” Must be completed by the employee’s district personnel office.

• Child Care Verification Form (LINK)
  For families who live outside MUSD and are applying for childcare-based transfer requests.

What Families Should Know

• Transfer requests are accepted all year long.

• If your child already has an approved Intra-District Transfer and is in good standing (attendance, academics, behavior), you do not need to reapply. Your child stays through the TK–5 or 6–8 grade span unless the school becomes impacted.

• Students not in good standing may be notified by the school regarding possible revocation.

• Inter-District Transfers (OUT of MUSD): Processed during the Priority Window and must be renewed annually.

• Inter-District Transfers (INTO MUSD): Processed as received during the Priority Window.

How Decisions Are Made

MUSD is growing quickly, and some schools have limited space. Submitting during the Priority Window increases the chance of approval.

The Student Success Services Department reviews all transfer requests. Families will receive written notification via email.

Terms & Conditions

Transfer approval depends on spacing and staffing, and may be revoked at any time if:

• The student has excessive absences or tardies

• The student is dropped off too early or picked up too late

• Behavior expectations are not met

• Academic effort is not demonstrated (Education Code 35160.5)

• There is no longer room at the school or grade level

• False or misleading information was provided

Policies & Appeals

Inter-District Transfers

To appeal a denial, submit a written explanation within 30 days.
Your appeal will be reviewed by the Assistant Superintendent of Education Services, and you will receive a written response within 10 calendar days.

Intra-District Transfers

These requests are based on space availability, so there is no appeal process.
