FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS REGARDING PARENT SCHOOL CHOICE TRANSFERS
- Will it benefit me to have my child’s application completed and submitted on the first day? No. All Parent School Choice transfer requests submitted prior to the deadline during open enrollment have an equal chance to be selected.
- How do I apply? Applications will be available online at www.nmusd.us/transfers beginning mid-January. If needed, computers are available at your school site or the District office.
-
Is it possible for parents to get a tentative approval if they have to pay private school tuition prior to the May 15th notification date? No tentative approvals are given.
-
The State mandates that an unbiased/random method be used to select students if all applicants cannot be accommodated. Prior to conducting the lottery, are there extenuating circumstances that would give certain individuals priority? The California Education Code allows the following priorities to transferring students:
- First choice: Siblings of current students at the desired school.
-
Second choice: Random lottery list.
-
May we apply to more than one school? Yes, you may apply for 3 schools for each student on one application. You must only apply once for each student.
-
Can a student be denied a transfer if his/her attendance, or behavior records are below standard? No. The transfer applications are not pre-screened.
-
Can I check the status of my application? No, once decisions are made the notifications are emailed to the email addresses associated with the student. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of applications, we are unable to provide you with a status update.
-
What if my child’s name is on the waitlist? If your child’s name is placed on a grade level waitlist with a numbered ranking assigned by the lottery, there is no guarantee that the waitlist placement will lead to subsequent admission to your desired school. Your child’s name will remain on the waitlist for that school year.
-
Does my student need to live in the residence of NMUSD? Applicants must be living within Newport-Mesa Unified School District boundaries in order to attend. Failure to disclose one’s actual address, or upon a finding that a student does not reside within the boundaries of the Newport Mesa Unified School District, may cause the district to rescind your application.
You must enroll your child at his or her home school in NMUSD. If your transfer application is approved, the enrollment records will transfer to the approved school.
PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES SOBRE LAS SOLICITUDES DE TRANSFERENCIA ESCOLAR POR DECISIÓN DE LOS PADRES
1. ¿Me beneficiará si completo y presento la solicitud de mi niño(a) el primer día?
No. Todos los formularios de transferencia enviados antes de la fecha límite durante la inscripción abierta tienen la misma oportunidad de ser seleccionados.
2. ¿Cómo puedo hacer la solicitud?
Las solicitudes estarán disponibles en línea a partir de enero. Si es necesario, hay computadoras disponibles en su escuela o en la oficina del Distrito.
3. ¿Es posible que los padres obtengan una aprobación provisional si tienen que pagar la inscripción de escuela privada antes de la fecha de notificación del 15 de mayo?
No se dan aprobaciones provisionales.
4. El Estado ordena que se use un método imparcial/aleatorio para seleccionar a los estudiantes si no se puede ofrecer espacio a todos los solicitantes. Antes de conducir la lotería, ¿hay circunstancias atenuantes que den prioridad a ciertas personas?
El Código de Educación de California permite las siguientes prioridades para transferir a los estudiantes:
- Primera prioridad: Hermanos de estudiantes actuales en la escuela deseada.
- Segunda prioridad: Lista de lotería aleatoria.
5. ¿Podemos solicitar más de una escuela?
Sí, puede solicitar 3 escuelas para cada estudiante en una solicitud. Solo debe solicitar una vez por cada estudiante.
6. ¿Se puede denegar una transferencia a un estudiante si su asistencia, o los registros de comportamiento están por debajo del estándar?
No. Las solicitudes de transferencia no están preseleccionadas.
7. ¿Puedo verificar el estado de mi solicitud?
No, una vez que se toman las decisiones, las notificaciones se envían por correo electrónico a las direcciones de correo electrónico asociadas con el estudiante. Desafortunadamente, debido al gran volumen de aplicaciones, no podemos brindarle una actualización de estado.
8. ¿Qué pasa si el nombre de mi hijo está en la lista de espera?
Si el nombre de su hijo es colocado en una lista de espera del grado escolar con una clasificación numerada asignada por la lotería, no hay garantía de que la colocación en la lista de espera lleve a la admisión subsiguiente a la escuela deseada. El nombre de su hijo permanecerá en la lista de espera para ese año escolar.
9. ¿Debe mi estudiante ser residente del NMUSD?
Los solicitantes deben vivir dentro de los límites del Distrito Escolar Unificado Newport-Mesa para poder asistir. El no revelar la dirección real de uno, o al descubrir que un estudiante no reside dentro de los límites del Distrito Escolar Unificado Newport Mesa, puede llevar a que el distrito retire so solicitud.
Debe inscribir a su hijo en su escuela local en NMUSD. Si se aprueba su solicitud de transferencia, los registros de inscripción se transferirán a la escuela aprobada.
