Interdistrict Transfer (Into and out of NCSD)

The North Clackamas School Board approves openings for Interdistrict Transfers in early April each year for the following school year. Applications to transfer into an NCSD school with approved openings are accepted during a three-week window shortly thereafter. At the end of this window, a lottery is held to assign the slots at each school.  

Any remaining slots will be awarded on a first-come-first-serve basis starting in mid-May. Families will be notified within one week of submitting an application. 

Please note that you will also need to secure a release from your resident school district to complete the process of entering a North Clackamas school.

When a student is on an Interdistrict Transfer, transportation is the responsibility of the family. Also, it is important to note that admission of one student in a family does not guarantee admission for siblings. 

The following schools / grades have Interdistrict Transfer openings for the 2022-2023 school year:

****Please note, beginning on August 15, 2022 interdistrict transfer slots open at any grade level where the school’s total grade level enrollment exceeds the projected enrollment or staffing ratio provided for the school year will be closed for the duration of the school year. ****

Applications

Every April, the school board takes action to determine whether North Clackamas School District will award a release to any family applying for an interdistrict transfer out of North Clackamas. For the 2022-23 school year, releases will be granted to all families who request one.

Families will be notified of their approval for a release within one week of submitting an application.  Once a release out of NCSD has been awarded, you will still need to secure admission into your school district of choice. 

If your student was released from North Clackamas School District in a previous year and enrolled in their identified school district of choice, you do not need to complete another application.  Your release to the identified school district of choice is valid through graduation.
