Transfers
All NTPS students are required to attend the school inside the boundary in which they reside. See school boundary maps.
For a student to attend a different school other than their assigned school (inside or outside the district), they must follow the transfer process. Forms must be submitted by a guardian for each student.
For details, read the related district policies & procedures:
