Change School Request

In-District Variance Requests

The Port Angeles School District typically assigns students to their neighborhood school based on home address boundaries. However, families may request a transfer to another school within the district by submitting an In-District Variance Request.

Please note:

  • All variance requests are approved on a year-to-year basis.
  • Families must submit a new transfer request each school year.
  • Approval is based on space availability and compliance with district policy.
  • Submitting a request does not guarantee placement.

We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure equitable access and balanced enrollment across all schools in our district.

Choose one of 3 options for submitting your request;

1. Google Form - School Change Request Form (digital signature and sending)

2a.  Fillable PDF, Download and mail - School Change Request Form 2b.. Non-fillable PDF, Download and mail - School Change Request Form 

3. Microsoft Word Document, Download and mail - School Change Request Form 

Out-of-District Choice Transfer Requests

Families living outside the boundaries of the Port Angeles School District who wish to have their student attend a PASD school must submit a Choice Transfer Request through the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI).

Please note:

  • All out-of-district transfer requests are approved on a year-to-year basis.
  • A new request must be submitted each school year.
  • Approval is based on space availability and adherence to district guidelines and policies.
  • Submission of a request does not guarantee placement.

Click here to submit your request through OSPI's online system.

In rare cases where families are unable to access the online system, a paper Choice Transfer Request form may be submitted. Paper forms should only be used as a last resort and can be mailed or delivered to:

Port Angeles School District
Attn: Choice Transfer Request
905 West 9th Street
Port Angeles, WA 98363

We look forward to serving your student and appreciate your interest in the Port Angeles School District.
