Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment or Intra-District Transfers (Transferring from one Pleasanton Unified school to another)

Per Administrative Regulation 5116.1: Intra-district Open Enrollment, our District has an open enrollment policy in which students can, if space is available, attend their school of choice. Transfers of current PUSD students from one school to another are allowed for various reasons, as listed in Board Policy 5116.1.

All requests must be completed by a parent/guardian and submitted from the parent/guardian's email on file.

Transfers have closed for the 2024-25 school year.

The window for the 2025-26 school year is open beginning Jan. 1, 2025.

For the 2025-26 school year, the following schools are considered “not at capacity” and are the school sites available for Open Enrollment Requests

PLEASE NOTE: A student must be enrolled in PUSD prior to completing an Open Enrollment Request. The priority open enrollment period for TK-K and all new students enrolling in PUSD opens on March 1, 2025.
