Intra-District Transfer
-
Intra-District Transfer is an option for students who live in the Lakeville Area Schools district boundary area, but wish to attend a different school in the district other than the one assigned to their residence.
Please note, the Intra-District Transfer process applies only to families who currently live within the boundaries of Lakeville Area Schools and are applying to attend a school other than their attendance area school. If you do not currently live within the boundaries of Lakeville Area Schools, please follow the procedures for Open Enrollment.
To check if your address is within the district boundary, please use the Attendance Area Search Tool.
Families wishing to Intra-District Transfer for the current school year may complete Step 1 and Step 2 of the Application process at any time.

Am I required to apply every year?
Approval is valid for the duration of enrollment at the approved school building. You do not need to reapply each year that your child is enrolled at that school. When your child transitions to the next level building (for example, transitioning from elementary school to middle school), you will need to submit a new application if seeking enrollment in a school other than the attendance area school assigned to your address.
-
Does the district provide transportation for intra-district transfer students?
No. Lakeville Area Schools is not able to provide transportation to students who are attending a school that is different from the one assigned to their address.
