TVUSD Parents Can Choose Where Their Kids Go To School

The district's Open Enrollment policy allows parents who live within TVUSD's boundaries to choose their child's school of attendance by submitting an Intra-District transfer request.

The following is a news release from the Temecula Valley Unified School District:

The Temecula Valley Unified School District’s (TVUSD) Open Enrollment period, when new Intra-District Transfer requests can be submitted, will begin October 8 and conclude December 21, 2012. 

The district's Open Enrollment policy allows parents who live within TVUSD's boundaries to choose their child’s school of attendance by submitting an Intra-District transfer request. Space availability is the major determining factor for approval.

All transfers received within the Open Enrollment period (Oct. 8-Dec. 21) will receive equal consideration regardless of the date they are turned in. Only transfers received during this time period will be considered as “Open Enrollment” transfers. If the number of transfers exceeds the number of spaces available at the school of choice, a lottery will be held.  

Requests received after December 21, 2012 will be reviewed for consideration beginning June 10, 2013. While every effort will be made to provide an approval or denial before the first day of school, we cannot guarantee it. You are highly encouraged to submit your Intra-District transfer request prior to December 21, 2012 in order to properly plan for the upcoming school year.

Children presently on an Intra-district transfer will automatically be renewed to the current transfer school for the 2013/2014 school year, unless the transfer is canceled by the parent, or if space availability is an issue at the transfer site. In this case, notice of a space issue will be mailed prior to May 31, 2013.  

Parents of promoting 5th and 8th graders wanting their child to attend a middle or high school other than their designated school of residence will need to apply for a new transfer. Promoting students matriculate to the next school based on their residence address, not the last school of attendance.  

Intra-district Transfer Request forms may be obtained on the TVUSD website at: www.tvusd.k12.ca.us/cwa_intradistrict_transfers. You may also pick up a form at TVUSD’s Child Welfare & Attendance Office located at 31350 Rancho Vista Road, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  

Completed forms must be returned to the Child Welfare and Attendance Office for final review. You may return forms in person or fax to (951) 676-6701. For questions regarding this process, please contact the Child Welfare and Attendance Office at (951) 506-7982.
