Interdistrict Transfer

Transferring Into MPESD

If you would like to transfer into MPESD, you must go to your resident district for their interdistrict transfer request form. If your form is approved, then your resident district will reach out to us so that the Superintendent can review the paperwork.

Note: You are not required to file a request with your residential district if your student is being enrolled in Ida Jew Academy.

Transferring Out of MPESD

Families who reside within the Mount Pleasant Elementary School District boundaries may submit an Interdistrict Transfer Request Form if they want their student to attend another district's school. Soft copies are on this page, and hard copies are also available at the District Office. Forms MUST be submitted directly to the Superintendent's Office at the District Office. If you have any questions or need additional assistance, please call our office at 408-223-3710.
