YES Prep Transfer Policy for the 2024-2025 School Year
We're excited to introduce our new student transfer policy, starting Tuesday, June 4th At YES Prep, we always strive to make sure every student has a great educational journey. That's why we're here to share some important information about how our new transfer policy can help support you and your family.
What's the Big Idea?
The YES Prep transfer policy is here to give families like yours some extra help if you ever need to change schools within the YES Prep district. We want to make sure that you feel supported and comfortable in your educational journey with us.
When Can You Transfer?
Transfer request can be made during open transfer windows. Transfers are open beginning Jun 4, 2024 - August 2, 2024. All transfer requests can be made via the campus Microsoft Forms as listed below.
If you're new to YES Prep, we want to make sure you've had a chance to settle in and experience YES Prep for at least one school semester before you are eligible to request a transfer through our school transfer form during the appropriate transfer window request period.
How Does It Work?
If you've been with us for at least one school semester and you're thinking about transferring to a different YES Prep school, our transfer policy is here to help. You can apply to transfer by talking to your current school's staff. They'll guide you through the process and help you with any questions you might have.
Why Do We Have This Policy?
We care about you and your education. Sometimes, things change in our lives, and we might need to switch schools. Maybe you're moving to a new neighborhood or you think a different YES Prep school might be a better fit for you. Whatever the reason, we're here to support you every step of the way.
Let's Stay Together!
Our goal is to make sure you have the best possible experience at YES Prep. Whether you're starting with us for the first time or thinking about making a change, we're here to help you succeed and reach your goals.
