Transfer Request for the 2026-27 School Year

The Desert Sands Unified School District Office of Child Welfare and Attendance is accepting school transfer applications for the 2026–2027 school year through February 28, 2026. To apply, please visit www.k12transfers.com and be sure to select your correct district of residence, as incomplete or incorrect applications may delay processing.

* All students on an inter-district must renew their transfer request every year.  Students on an inner-district transfer do not need to renew their transfer unless they are transferring to a new school for the 2026-2027 school year.
