CHOICE Student Transfer applications for the 2025-2026 school year will be accepted for both new and returning students starting May 1. Please do not submit a CHOICE application prior to May 1 or it will be rejected.

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.

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
