In order for a non-resident student (living outside of Nooksack Valley’s boundaries) to attend one of Nooksack’s schools, a Choice Transfer Request must be submitted to the school district and accepted by school administration.

** The quickest way is to complete the request form online, located at https://eds.ospi.k12.wa.us/ChoiceTransferRequest

The other option would be to complete a Choice Transfer Form and turn it into your resident school district office for processing. Forms are available at Nooksack’s district office or available for download below:

Forms can be dropped off Monday-Friday from 7:30- 4:00 at our district office:

3326 E. Badger Rd.
Everson, WA 98247

If you have any questions regarding non-resident transfers, please contact Melissa Phillips at the district office (360)988-4754

Non-resident acceptance into Nooksack Valley School District is for one academic year only. All non-resident student applications expire at the end of each academic year. Families must re-submit a transfer request form each year for continued enrollment in Nooksack Valley Schools.

Submission of the Choice Transfer Request does not guarantee admission into Nooksack Valley School District. You will be notified in writing once a decision has been made.

NOTE: Due to high enrollment counts, decisions regarding admission might not be made until end of August.
