Transferring schools within the Centennial School Districts to neighborhood schools.

Students who currently live within the Centennial School District boundaries may request to attend another neighborhood school within our district. Specific schools and grades available will be based on individual schools and space.

Please allow adequate time to process these requests at the end of the application timeline.  You will be notified of the district's decision after the application date closes.  The following conditions will be considered:

• Adequate space and staff availability must be available at the appropriate grade level.
•  The parent must provide transportation to and from school.
•  Appropriateness of the educational need.
•  All approved transfers are contingent upon adherence to school behavioral, attendance, and punctuality guidelines.

The duration of this transfer is through the highest grade level at that school. Transportation on all transfers will be solely the responsibility of the students’ parents/ guardians. 

A limited number of students will be accepted into the Centennial School district for the 2024-25 school year. Specific schools and grades available are based on the individual schools.

Families must contact their resident neighborhood school district to request an inter-district transfer release out of that district. That release will work as the application request into the Centennial School District and there is no additional paperwork needed. 

Transfers into the district will be accepted on a first come first serve basis and families will be notified after processing the request.

Due to capacity and projected numbers for the 2024-25 school year Butler Creek Elementary, Parklane Elementary and Centennial Transition Center are currently closed to incoming transfers due to capacity and classroom size.

If you have an incoming kindergartener of a closed school and you wish to join siblings with current transfers, please proceed with the transfer process. The district will take this into consideration. 

A limited number of transfer students are released out of the district each year. These students are granted an inter-district transfer out of the district based on the Oregon legislature and the Centennial District Boards decision. If more students apply than allotted spaces are available, a lottery will be held.

Students who were enrolled in their requested district’s as 11th graders in the 2023-24 school year or students who have siblings already enrolled and have received a transfer to the requested school will not need to participate in the lottery and will be released from the Centennial School District through the application process.

If you do not meet the criteria above, the Centennial School District will release up to 30 resident students to attend schools in other districts for the 2024-25 school year. Both sides must agree to the transfer and notification of the district’s decision will be sent to you by email. The Centennial School District will forward your paperwork to your requested district.

Releases out of a district are good through grade 12 while continuously attending the requested school district.  The non-resident district will determine the length of transfers in that district. 

Currently closed for applications. Families that applied, will be notified of the districts decision by July 12^th 2024.

Did you move over the summer, or during the year? Students who move during the summer or during the school year are eligible to stay the remainder of the school year (2024-25).

If you move INTO the Centennial School District boundaries during the summer (therefore missing the application process for inter-district transfers out of the Centennial School District) and wish to remain at your last attended school, please contact that schools district office transfer department for options.

If you move OUT of the Centennial School District boundaries during the summer into another school district, you may remain with Centennial School District for the 2024-25 school year. Please notify your school secretary of your new address.

If you are interested in an online school outside of the Centennial School District, please follow the registration process with that school. The Centennial School District follows the Oregon Department of Education and may deny your request if we have reached our 3% cap.
