Any parent wishing to transfer his or her child from their neighborhood school to another public elementary school in Newburyport must submit a written request to the Superintendent of Schools at 70 Low Street, Newburyport. While requests may be made at any time, transfers intended for the beginning of a new school year should be submitted no later than May 1, of the prior school year.
All letters of request are date-stamped.
Transfers are made depending on the availability of classroom space and with the approval of the Superintendent in consultation with the principals involved. A sibling of a student who is already attending a school through a prior transfer is given priority. All other students requesting transfers are admitted on a first come, first served basis. The Office of the Superintendent notifies parents of children approved for transfer beginning in a new school year by June 15th of the prior year. All requests for School Choice from other districts go through the Superintendent s Office at 70 Low Street, Newburyport.
