Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our student transfer policy. We appreciate your interest in the Deer Creek School District. We do our best to welcome additional students to our district whenever it is possible.

Deer Creek makes decisions about student transfers in accordance with district policy and state law. You can download our comprehensive district policy below; 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: Transfer Application. Parents who need access to technology to print or complete the form can visit the Deer Creek Enrollment Center. Paper copies of the form can also be picked up at the Deer Creek Enrollment Center located on the West entrance of  Deer Creek High School, .

·      We will contact parents directly about the approval status of their child’s transfer.

·      Mid-year transfer requests will be considered within [5] school days of the district receiving the application, when capacity allows transfer enrollments.

·      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.

·      Transfer students must abide by eligibility requirements established by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA) for OSSAA-sanctioned activities.

·      When capacity allows and after a transfer application is approved, the guardian will then be required to complete our district's Online Registration.

·      Transfer decisions may be appealed. Refer to Board Policy JECB for the appeal process.

The methodology for determining grade level capacity at each school was based on class sizes stated in House Bill 1017, reduced by 10% to allow for in-district growth.

Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade was set at 18 students per class, 7th grade through 12th grade was set at 21 students per section of language arts offered at each grade level.
