Click here for online submission: Transfer-Out Parent Request Form

Points to remember:

1. You must submit a separate form for each child you are transferring out of the district.
2. If you do not have computer/internet access, a paper version of this form may be provided to you by the school upon request.  
3. Once you complete the online form, the school will begin the  Transfer-Out process, which takes approximately 48 hours.  They will ensure that all school materials are returned (textbooks, student ID’s, sports uniforms, library books, locker checks, etc.), and that any outstanding balances are paid in full (cafeteria balance, library fines, etc.).  If there are any outstanding fees/books, this may delay the processing of the student’s transfer. 

 

 STEP 2.     Pick up transfer documents on the last day of attendance:

Once the school has verified that all the materials have been returned, and fees are paid in full, the school will print out the Transfer Card on the last day of the child’s attendance.  They will also provide you with a copy of immunizations, and last report card/transcripts.  Please contact the building secretary in which your child attends to arrange a time to pick up these documents. It takes approximately 48 hours for these to be processed and printed. 

Once the Matawan-Aberdeen School District receives the request from the new school district for records, we will mail them the hard copies of all student files.  

Any special education records will be sent separately once our Special Services department receives a separate request from the new school district’s special education department.

Si hay cuotas/libros pendientes, esto puede retrasar el procesamiento de la transferencia del estudiante.

Comuníquese con la secretaria de la escuela a la que asiste su hijo para programar un horario para recoger estos documentos. Se tarda aproximadamente 48 horas en procesar e imprimir los documentos.
