Whitehouse Independent School District
Out-of-District Transfer Guidelines

Families with students in grades K-12 who live outside of Whitehouse I.S.D. 's district boundaries may apply for transfer to a Whitehouse I.S.D. school. Out-of-district transfers are approved for only one academic year at a time. Transfer requests will be evaluated on current enrollment, growth expectations, teacher assignments, class sizes, and the enrolling student’s attendance and discipline history.

Conditions of transfer

• All out-of-district transfers must be approved by the office of Student Auxiliary Services and the receiving school principal.
• A transfer form must be completed for each child, and approval of one child does not guarantee the approval of siblings.
• Parents may request a particular elementary campus, but Whitehouse I.S.D will determine actual campus placement.
• Elementary applications that are denied are denied for all Whitehouse elementary schools.
• School bus transportation will not be provided for transfer students.
• Approval does not guarantee eligibility for varsity athletic competition.
