New process in place for current and new students

Please read this important process change below

Those living outside the school district boundaries who wish for their children to attend Chehalis schools may request a transfer. All applications for non-resident attendance will be considered on an equal basis as per school board policy BP 3141. This process is now handled by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and is where all inquires should begin. You can find the OSPI Choice Transfer Request Parent portal on the OSPI website at Student Transfers or by using the button below:

Complete your transfer request and submit your application to your resident district with the parent portal link provided above. No further form is required.

All transfers are reviewed year-to-year using the following criteria, and all accepted students are subject to termination of acceptance if the conditions listed are no longer met:

1. Adherence to the rules for the school of attendance and to District policies and procedures
2. Participation and academic performance in the classroom
3. Consistent attendance
