Cupertino Union School District Student Assignment Procedure, Rules, Deadlines, Dates, Explanation, Examples, Clarification,

Starting June 10, 2019, families who are interested in having their child(ren) attend another school, may request a move where space is available or request to have their child(ren) placed on an existing wait list. The Student Assignment Office is open from 8:30 – 1:30 p.m. to support families with requests. 

Families may add their child(ren) to an existing alternative or attendance area school waitlist.  Requests may not exceed two alternative schools and two attendance area schools.  If placed through the open enrollment process, the child’s name is removed from the other alternative school lists or attendance area school lists accordingly. 

•    Ex. 1:  A child is waiting to get into Faria and Portal. The family accepts a spot at Portal. The child’s name is removed from the Faria list.
•    Ex. 2: A child is waiting to get into Regnart and Muir.  The family accepts a spot at Muir.  The child’s name is removed from the Regnart list.
•    Ex. 3:  A child is waiting to get into Faria, Portal, Dilworth, and Muir. The family accepts a spot at Muir. The child is removed from the Dilworth list but will remain on the Faria and Portal lists.  If the family accepts an offer at Portal, then the child is removed from the Faria list.

Note:  If a student is withdrawn from CUSD for any reason, the school choice agreement will become void.

Attendance Area School:   Families that would like their child(ren) to return to the family’s attendance area school may make this request at any time. If there is space, we will work with the schools to support this transfer through a Request for Transfer. If there is no space, the student will be considered “overflow” and will be placed at his/her attendance area school before an open enrollment student when space becomes available.

move into new address

When you purchase a place, you are supposed to give the closing statement for your home purchase to your child's current school's secretary.  The school district will then update the school assignment for your child. 

To prove that you have physically moved into your new home address, you'll also have to give them a PG&E bill with your name on it, plus one form of ID within 30 days.

Student Assignment with the Cupertino Union School District.  Normally when you move to a new residence, you are supposed to update your address with CUSD.  However, if space is available you can request to have your child stay at his/her current school.

The good news is that Eisenhower 4th grade does have a few spots available.

Charlene also checked and confirmed that Eisenhower has nobody on their waiting list of

waiting families from overflow trying to get back to Eisenhower.  Bottom line is yes, since Eisenhower 4th grade has space right now, now is a good opportunity to buy something and also keep Nina at Eisenhower.

In fact, I checked the other elementary schools that feed to Hyde middle school and got more good news.  Sedgwick Elementary is very full and has very little space.  De Vargas Elementary 4th grade is also full.  That means if you buy a property in Sedgwick or De Vargas, they will be glad to allow Nina to continue at Eisenhower.  The situation can change at any time.  Right now the conditions are in your favor.  If you end up not finding the right place for several months, we may have to check the situation again.
