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, with recommitment applications receiving priority. Transfer requests will be evaluated on recommitment, 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.
• Whitehouse I.S.D may revoke a transfer and return the student to their home campus, at any time, for:
  • Failure to maintain a passing grade in all classes
  • Excessive absences or tardies
  • Violation of the student code of conduct
