    MISD TRANSFERS OVERVIEW 

    The transfer process is used by families who want to apply to a MISD neighborhood (zone) school that is not the school designated by the family’s address. Transfers are reviewed by MISD staff and approved if the criteria for the transfer is met and there is space available.  Additionally, for a transfer to be approved, the student must have good attendance, a clean discipline record and acceptable grades. All families with students on an existing approved transfer must re-apply for a transfer each school year with the exception of students who are on a School Transformation transfer (see definitions below).

    TRANSFER WINDOWS

    Mid-Year Transfers in 2023-2024
    Any family seeking a mid-year transfer for the remainder of the 2023-24 school year will only be considered if the student is new to MISD or if the transfer reason is Safety or PEG  (see definitions below). To submit a mid-year transfer, visit the MISD Office of Student Services (615 West Missouri St.) Monday through Friday between 8:00am and 5:00pm or email applymidland@midlandisd.net. 

    Transfer Timeline for Fall 2024
    Apply Midland will open in December 2023 for Round 1 transfers for Fall 2024.  Student Transfers for Fall 2024 will not be taken after August 7, 2024 except for new enrollment, safety transfers, or PEG transfers (if you moved to a PEG zone after the transfer window closed in August).  Additionally, parents who move during the school year but wish to keep their children at their current school must complete a transfer within 10 days of moving to a new address.  These transfers will continue to be accepted throughout the school year. If you have questions or extenuating circumstances, please email applymidland@midlandisd.net.

    The transfer window for Spring 2024 will be open October 1, 2023 through October 30, 2023.
