Frequently Asked Questions

We currently live in the CUHSD boundary lines and are thinking of moving; can my student remain at their current school?

If you move outside the CUHSD boundary lines, you must initiate an Interdistrict Transfer request from your new home school district for your student to remain at their current school. If you move within the CUHSD boundary lines but outside the current school boundary lines, you must initiate an Intradistrict Transfer request. This requires a signed/dated Lease/Rental agreement or Close of Escrow document.

We live outside of CUHSD boundary lines and my student has been attending school on an Interdistrict or Charter transfer permit; what do I need to do?

Any student residing outside CUHSD boundaries who wishes to attend a CUHSD high school must initiate an Interdistrict Transfer request with their home school district of residence. Use the Santa Clara County Tax Assessors Public Portal to find your home school district information. The home school district will handle the release and forward it to CUHSD for consideration. Notifications are typically sent in the Spring. Your student cannot complete class placement requests until the transfer is approved and placement confirmed. It is recommended to enroll your student in your home school of residence to ensure a smooth transition to high school.

I put in a request for a Transfer and I’m getting emails from my home school of residence; does that mean my request was denied? What do I do?

High school attendance is based on your home residence address. The transfer process does not alter or change until the Spring once the placement decisions have been finalized. In the meantime, please proceed with attending your home school of residence parent night, class selection processes and Aeries Student Account login process. Once placements have been finalized, all information will transfer with your student to the school of attendance.

*Parents are welcome to attend any school site parent nights in the interest of obtaining information.
