Pick up a reassignment application at your local school district. Some school districts offer the application online for you to print yourself.
Fill out the application completely and honestly. Information requested includes your child's name, date of birth and grade level, information about yourself and reason for your request. The district uses this information to make decisions. If the district requires a reason other than personal preference, be honest since the district will likely require documentation to support your reason.
Choose the school which you want your children to attend. In some states, you are able to rank several schools to accommodate back-ups in case your child is not accepted to your preferred school.
Submit your application before the deadline. If you try to submit your application beyond the posted deadline, it will not be considered.
Reply to any questions in a timely manner. The school district may call you or request you to submit documentation, such as health records or school records from a previous school. If someone contacts you, answer any questions she has and submit all documentation as soon as possible.
Wait for a letter regarding your request. Most districts have a deadline by which you will receive notification one way or the other. If you do not receive notification by the listed date, contact the local school district yourself to inquire about your request.
