Please note: If you are on an inter-district transfer into AGUSD and move out of the District of Residence that approved your student's transfer at any time during the school year, you MUST notify the school site and complete an inter-district transfer request from your new district in order to continue attending school in Apple Grove Unified School District . This needs to be done within 14 days of moving or your student may be dropped.

Notifications of final decisions for future school year requests will be sent out no later than 14 calendar days after the commencement of instruction in the school year for which the inter-district transfer is sought.

Steps to Completing Inter-District Transfers Into Apple Grove

  1. Obtain an Inter-District Transfer form from your school District of Residence .
  2. Complete the form and attach the required documentation from the County's request form (listed on page 2, paragraph 1); this includes the student's most recent report cards, attendance record, behavior/discipline report, and transcript for grades 6-12. Also attach any documentation outlined in the chart that supports the reason for your request. Additionally, if your child has been found eligible for any special services or is receiving Special Educational services, a current IEP including FAPE offer must be attached to the request.
  3. Submit completed forms and all required attachments to your School District of Residence for approval. Application requests must include all the required attachments in order to be considered. Incomplete applications will not be processed.
  4. Your School District of Residence will send the form to Apple Grove Unified School District for processing. ( AGUSD does not accept hand-delivered forms; they must come directly from your District of Residence. )
  5. Failure of the parent to meet any timelines established by the school district will be deemed an abandonment of the request.
  6. AGUSD will notify you of the decision by email. Please ensure there is a legible email address on your submitted form or in the attached letter detailing your reason for requesting an inter-district transfer into the AGUSD .
  7. Important: Parents requesting to enter AGUSD from another district: Do not withdraw your child from their current district until you have received the signed & approved form from Apple Grove Unified School District .

Inter-District Transfer Granted Conditional Approval

Please carefully review the conditions outlined below. AGUSD may revoke this transfer at any time if your student fails to comply. Compliance with these conditions will be reviewed for continued approval to attend the AGUSD :

  • If this transfer originated within Alameda County, the transfer is valid until your student transitions from 5th to 6th grade, or 8th to 9th grade; as long as conditions are met, unless the transfer is revoked.
  • Transfer requests from county to county need to be resubmitted in the Spring for each academic school year. Districts within Alameda County open IDT requests for the upcoming school year in March.
  • Parents/Guardians are responsible for ensuring the school has their current residence information. If the family moves from their District of Residence (through which this transfer was approved), it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to obtain a new transfer request from their new District of Residence and notify the AGUSD school of their new address within 14 days of moving or your student may be dropped.
  • Transportation is the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian.

AGUSD may deny or revoke an Inter-District Transfer at any time for the following:

  • Student is excessively tardy or absent from school, or is brought to school excessively early or left excessively late.
  • Disruption of the educational program / inappropriate student behavior.
  • Lack of academic effort which results in a failure to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA.
  • Recommendation for expulsion pursuant to Educational Codes 48900 and 48915.
  • If it is determined that false or misleading information was provided to support a transfer.
  • If enrollment in the student’s class exceeds the size limits applicable by law or negotiated teacher contracts.
  • Any other lawful, non-arbitrary reason for the district to believe it would be in the best interest of the student or the district for the Inter-District transfer to be revoked.

It is understandable that you want the best possible school experience for your student, and we wish that we could serve all students/families who would like to attend the Apple Grove Unified School District . However, transfer applications may be denied due to limited space in the requested school site, grade level, or program needed for the student.

If the transfer is denied, it is recommended that you ensure your student is enrolled in your District of Residence and/or that you apply for an Inter-District Transfer (IDT) agreement to another school District that may work for your family.

Open Enrollment Transfers

Per Administrative Regulation 5116.1: Intra-District Open Enrollment, our District has an open enrollment policy in which students can, if space is available, attend their school of choice. Transfers of current Apple Grove students from one school to another are allowed for various reasons and are granted if there is space/program availability in the grade level requested.
