School Choice Intra-District Transfer only applies to students who live within the Saddleback Valley Unified School District attendance boundaries. If you live outside of the SVUSD you will need to apply for an Inter-District Transfer from your resident district. Requests for placement will not be done on a first-come, first-serve basis, instead will be approved using an unbiased random selection process and only if space is available at the school requested.

Note: This is the only process in which to request a transfer from your school of residence. There are no longer separate School Choice and Intra-District Transfer processes or Special Program transfers.

Please complete one application per student.

• Students may request a 1st and 2nd choice of schools.
• Once the application is approved the choice school will become your school of resident throughout the level, K-6, 7-8, 9-12. The district is unable to hold a space for your student at more than one school. Please give this consideration before submitting a School Choice Intra-District Transfer application.
• Attach a current electric, gas, water bill or a rental/mortgage statement which clearly indicates your current address. (NO application will be processed without this.)
• Return completed application to the district office on or before the due date of February 14, 2019 for Secondary students (entering grades 7-12.)
• Return completed application to the district office on or before the due date of March 29, 2019 for Elementary students (entering grades K-6.)
• NO LATE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED
