Secondary Student
Non-Resident Applications Are Due by January 10, 2023.
The Puyallup School District
is in the process of projecting enrollments and assigning staff for junior high
schools and high schools for the 2023-2024 school year. For students who reside
outside of the Puyallup School District boundary (non-residents), applications
to attend Puyallup schools must be renewed each year (Choice Transfer Request
from the resident district with Non-Resident Application).
If you intend on having your child attend
junior high or high school in the Puyallup School District next year, you are
required to submit a Choice Transfer Request for the 2023-24 school
year from your resident district and submit a new Secondary Non-Resident Application for Enrollment. The Puyallup School District
secondary non-resident application can be accessed here in English and here in Spanish. Please email completed
applications to [email protected] or mail to 302 2nd St
SE, Puyallup, WA 98372.
You may submit the Choice Transfer Request
and Secondary 2023-2024 Non-Resident Application for
Enrollment starting December 10, and for optimal consideration, please
submit the required paperwork by January 10. If the application is received
after January 10 or is not complete, the next due dates for processing are
April 12 and June 1, 2021. Applications received after June 1 may not
be reviewed until after the fourth day of school in September.
Non-resident applications are considered on a
first-come, first-served basis and approvals are based on the following
criteria:
1. A Choice Transfer Request has
been submitted from the resident district.
2. There is adequate capacity in
the school and grade in which attendance is being requested.
3. The admission does not cause a
hardship on resident students.
4. The school in which the student
applicant wishes to attend offers a program that is suitable to meet the
educational and other needs of the student without causing a financial
burden to the district.
5. The student’s attendance will
not likely create a risk to health or safety of other students or staff.
6. Transportation to and from
school will be the responsibility of the parent(s) or guardian(s).
Each completed application will be date-stamped when
received. Incomplete applications will not be considered received until
complete. Please be advised that current non-resident students will be
withdrawn from their school and inactivated from the Puyallup School District
if a Choice Transfer and Non-Resident Application for
Enrollment are not received by the last day of school.
Applications and due dates for non-resident elementary
students will be available later this winter.
