Transfers Overview
-
Irving ISD provides families with options through a Board approved transfer application process. Here are the two ways a parent can request a student transfer:
- An In-district Transfer may be granted to current Irving ISD students wishing to attend a district school outside of their attendance zone for approval reasons. The In-district transfer window for the 2025-2026 school year will be open from March 3rd – July 10th, 2025. During that window, the priority transfer window will be from March 3rd, 2025 - April 17th, 2025 and the second chance transfer window will be from April 18th, 2025 - July 10th, 2025. Learn More
- An Out-of-district Transfer may be granted by application to non-resident students in grades K-12 currently living outside of Irving ISD boundaries. Learn More
