Student Transfers
Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our student transfer policy. We appreciate your
interest in Perkins-Tryon Public Schools. We do our best to welcome additional students to our district
whenever it is possible.
Perkins-Tryon Public Schools makes decisions about student transfers in accordance with district policy and
state law. You can download our comprehensive district policy below here; however, we are providing the
following information for your convenience:
- The state Department of Education requires that the following form be completed to apply for a
transfer: Student Transfer Application. Parents who need access to technology to complete and submit the form can visit the Perkins-Tryon Administration building located at 103 SW 2 nd Street in Perkins, Oklahoma or at any school site office. Paper copies of the form can also be picked up at the Perkins-Tryon
Administration building or at any school site office.
- Decisions about transfers for the 2022-2023 school year will be made by July 15, 2022. We will
contact parents directly about the approval status of their child’s transfer.
- Mid-year transfer requests will be considered within 5 business days of the district receiving the
application.
- New transfers are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who attended the district
on a transfer during the 2021-22 school year will be automatically accepted pending approval from
the district. The law also gives preference to children of active-duty military personnel.
- To accept a transfer, enrollment in the grade the parent requests must be under the district-
established capacity. The district’s capacity and vacancy numbers for each grade and school can be
found below.
- Transfers may be denied based on capacity, attendance and discipline issues.
- Transfers for siblings must be considered separately.
- If the grade a student requests is over capacity, he/she will be offered the opportunity to be placed
on a waiting list.
- Transfer students must abide by eligibility requirements established by the Oklahoma Secondary
Schools Activities Association (OSSAA) for OSSAA-sanctioned activities.
- Transfer decisions may be appealed, information on the appeal process can be found in the board
policy listed below.
