Important information regarding your school choice options in Monongalia County Schools:

  • If you have a specific Monongalia County School in mind, we are happy to consider your transfer request. The first step is for the student to enroll in their attendance area school.
  • Keep in mind that if you choose to transfer to a school outside of your home attendance area, bus transportation will not be provided.
  • It is important to note that if the student-teacher ratio allowable by WV Code is exceeded, transfer students may need to return to their respective home schools. Additionally, transfer students must adhere to school rules and regulations and attend school regularly to maintain their transfer status.
  • For out-of-county transfer requests, approval from the Monongalia County Board of Education is required. While we strive to accommodate all requests, lack of grade level or program capacity may result in denial or rescinding of the transfer request. We cannot guarantee placement into the school you request.
  • Lastly, we want to remind you that transfer students are subject to the rules and regulations of the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission. 

 

Transfer requests for the next school year may be submitted between March 1st and May 31st. Requests submitted outside of this window will require documentation of extenuating circumstances.


We want you to have the best possible educational experience and we are here to support you in making informed school choice decisions. If you have more questions about the student transfer process, please email ssoderholm@k12.wv.us or call 304-291-9210 ext. 1511.
