The internal transfer process provides an opportunity for students to attend an MMSD school that is outside of their regular MMSD attendance area. Please note that MMSD does not provide transportation for students attending under an internal transfer.
First Round
Apply online starting February 2nd, 2026. Round 1 application closes at 4pm on April 30, 2026.
Internal transfer applications are processed through a lottery and not in the order they are received; first-come, first-serve does not apply. Applicants will know if their request has been approved or placed on a waitlist on or before May 15. Students on the wait list will know if their application has been approved or denied on July 1. Requests on the wait list are processed before second round requests.
Second Round
Second round application opens April 30 at 4pm, and closes June 10 at 4pm.
Applicants will know if their request has been approved or denied on
or before July 1.
Schools at Capacity
The District has finished the process for determining which schools will be accepting applications for new internal transfers beginning next school year. For a school to be closed, they must be over 95% of its current capacity and over 80% of its maximum capacity.
Based on these factors, the following schools will not be accepting Internal Transfer applications for the 2026-27 school year:
Elementary (Grades KG-4th)
Huegel Elementary
Randall Elementary
Van Hise Elementary
Note: Because we will attempt to grandfather students in Grade 5, we allow families to apply to these schools if their student currently attends that school in Grade 4.
Middle (Grades 6-7)
Gillespie Middle
Hamilton Middle
Note: Because we will attempt to grandfather students in Grade 8, we allow families to apply if their student currently attends that school in Grade 7.
