If you have a child at Peabody Elementary and would like to send your child to a different Shelby County School OR if  you are currently attending a Shelby County School and want to send your child to Peabody Elementary — the transfer process opens this Tuesday!

And there are no lines to wait in and no paper applications! It’s all online — but it IS first apply, first serve.

Peabody Principal Melanie Nelson has outlined how this works:

• All Students in Shelby County can apply for a General Choice Transfer on February 18-March 7, 2014
• Online application portal opens on the SCS District website at 10: a.m. on February 18
• Parent’s will log in with child’s name, birth date, current grade/school and social security number or district PIN (Test your log in here)
• The list of schools with enrollment spaces will be posted online prior to February 18.
• Applications will be electronically stamped with date and time as they are submitted
• Students on an existing transfer at SCS school are approved through the exit grade of the current school (No re-apply necessary)

The General Choice Transfer Process is NOT the same as the Optional Schools Process.  Click here to see the difference.
