With the closing of Catlin and Beacon Hill Elementary Schools next fall and the new addition of Lexington Elementary School, boundary adjustments to a portion of the district have become necessary for the 2021-2022 school year.
The Kelso School District will attempt to accommodate all in-district and out-of-district transfers during this boundary adjustment process. In-district choice requests for the Barnes, Catlin, Lexington, or Wallace Elementary Schools will be considered in the order below.
- Students who previously attended the school on an in-district transfer.
- Students who have years of prior attendance at the requested school.
- Whether space is available in the grade level classes at the requested school.
- Students who meet all district transfer requirements for enrollment in the requested school.
- Keeping siblings of the same residence together at the same school.
- Other special hardship or detrimental condition affecting the student.
*Reference: KSD Board Policy and Procedures 3131 for additional information and timelines.
