Transfers
Transfers
When your student enrolls with OpenEd, they'll be a public school student enrolling with one of our partner districts (Scappoose, Nyssa, or Three Rivers).
The state of Oregon requires a release from your resident district even if your student has never been enrolled or has previously been released to a different district.
As part of your enrollment with OpenEd, you'll sign a transfer form.
Don't worry - we'll do most of the work!
What To Expect
After your OpenEd application is approved, we'll send you a link to get started on your transfer form.
We'll ask you to confirm your name, address, email, and phone number.
(Since we use your address to find your resident district, please don't use a PO Box.)
Make sure your emails match!
So we can automatically populate your student's information on their transfer form, please use the same email address that you used on your OpenEd application.
After you click Start Your Transfer, you'll receive an email with a form that has all of your student's information already filled in.
All you'll have to do is digitally sign the form and submit it.
You'll receive an email confirming that your submission went through.
We'll take care of the rest, and we'll let you know via email once the process is complete.
Enrolling multiple students?
No worries - your transfer form will include all of your students' details.
In most cases, you will only need to fill out one transfer form for your family. (If you need more than one, our team will let you know.)
Uploading Your Completed Form
On the Enrollment tab of the OpenEd platform, you'll see a task labeled Transfer Form.
On that task, we'll ask you to upload your transfer form after all parties have signed it (meaning you, your resident district, and our partner district).
After we email you the completed form, please upload that document to the task and submit it.
That's your last step!
If you were routed to an Intent to Enroll (ITE): You can upload once the district has signed the form. If your district did not sign after 10 days have passed, OpenEd will upload for you and approve it.
