If you would like your child(ren) to be considered for enrollment in Kirbyville CISD, complete the following web-based Application for Student Transfer.  Applications for student transfers must be approved annually.  

All applications must be completed via this web-based form. The web-based form is considered complete and returned once you complete the survey. Please complete all applicable fields.

Texas law permits any child, other than a high school graduate, who is younger than 21 years of age and eligible for enrollment on September 1 of any school year to transfer annually from the child’s school district of residence to Kirbyville CISD only if both Kirbyville CISD and the applicant parent or guardian or person having lawful control of the child jointly approve and timely agree to the transfer.

Per FDA (Local Policy) – In approving transfers, the Superintendent or designee shall consider availability of space and instructional staff and the student’s disciplinary history and attendance records.

Kirbyville CISD continually evaluates current and prospective student transfers based upon available instructional space, available staff, student conduct, and student attendance.  Transfer students who demonstrate conduct which is not in compliance with Kirbyville CISD standards or fails to meet compulsory attendance requirements will not be readmitted.  Admitted transfer students shall be responsible for their transportation to and from Kirbyville CISD.

In order to promote a positive learning environment which invites many students to seek transfer into Kirbyville CISD, I ask that each applicant for transfer and his/her parent join in our shared commitment to quality schools by signing the attached agreement.  I am pleased you are interested in applying for transfer into our school district and I look forward to considering your application for transfer.

Your Partner in Education,

Stephen Edwards
Superintendent of Schools

• You will need all of your student(s) names, SSNs, and current grade level(s).
  
  
• The district that the student(s) would normally attend.
  
  
• Later in the survey, you will be asked to give a reason for the transfer request. If applying for exemption code "F", you will need odometer readings from your home to the student(s)' campus of residence, and from your home to the receiving campus in Kirbyville CISD. You will need these before completing the survey. 

Explanation of exemption / hardship code F: Student whose home is 20 miles or more closer to the receiving
school than the school of residence (Is there a 20-mile difference between the distances from the student’s home to each of the two schools involved?).

Examples will help to clarify this exemption.

• The student lives five miles from the campus in the receiving district and sixteen miles from the campus in the district of residence. The difference in the distances is only eleven miles. Code F does not apply.
  
  
• The student lives five miles from the campus in the receiving district and twenty-six miles from the campus in the district of residence. The difference in the distances is twenty-one miles. Code F applies.

Please be aware that if one of your students is new, then you will be required to provide additional information, and will need to go through an interview process with the campus principal. You will receive notification and a packet of additional information needed.

Dear student(s) / parent(s):

By checking the boxes below, my parent(s) and I understand that my application for transfer, if approved, will be reviewed on an annual basis and that my misconduct or misbehavior may affect my ability to attend Kirbyville Consolidated Independent School District.  My parent(s) and I pledge that:

 

• We want, for me, the privilege of attending school in Kirbyville CISD.

• We share Kirbyville CISD’s commitment to quality schools.

• We have received and will carefully read and become familiar with the Kirbyville CISD’s Student Code of Conduct.

• We agree that I will comply with the Kirbyville CISD’s Student Code of Conduct.

• We understand that Kirbyville CISD continually evaluates current and prospective student transfers based upon available instructional space, staff, student conduct and student attendance.

• We understand that if my conduct is not in compliance with Kirbyville CISD standards, I will not be readmitted.

• We understand that if I am admitted, Kirbyville CISD shall not be responsible for my transportation to and from Kirbyville CISD.

• We agree that I will make every effort to be an exemplary model student both academically and in my conduct and behavior.

• We affirm that I have had no more that three (3) unexcused absences in the past 180 days of instruction and that I have had no more than one (1) discipline referral in the current or previous semester.

• We understand that prior to the approval of my transfer, we shall furnish to Kirbyville CISD my birth certificate or another documents suitable as proof of my identity, my social security card, a copy of my parent’s drivers license, a copy of my records from the school I most recently attended, if previously enrolled in a school in this state or another state, and a record showing that I have all required immunizations.

• We understand, that if approved and we transfer to Kirbyville CISD, and then subsequently withdraw, we will have to re-apply for transfer. We understand that in determining whether my student will be permitted to enroll in KCISD, the superintendent will consider the student's disciplinary record, attendance record, academic record, and class size and availability.

• We understand that falsification of information is a Class A Misdemeanor and can lead to legal action. We understand that being approved for transfer in one school year creates no right or expectation that my student will be admitted as a transfer student in subsequent years. I further understand that admission of one student in a family creates no right or expectation that another student from the same family will be admitted as a transfer.

• We understand that being an employee of KCISD does not guarantee student transfer approval.
