Permits Applications
There are three (3) types of permits that El Monte City School District (EMCSD) offers; they are Intra-district, Incoming Inter-district Acceptance Permit, and Outgoing Inter-district Release Permit. To qualify for either type of permit, your child must be enrolled in an El Monte City School District school.
To find your homeschool, please use our school locator tool.
What is an Intra-district permit?
Transfer from one EMCSD school to another EMCSD school.
- Transitional Kindergarten students are assigned to their school of residence unless the program is full. In that case other schools in EMCSD are an option for families.
- Intra-district transfer requests are granted based upon space availability, siblings, student conduct, and attendance.
- Parent/guardian assumes responsibility for providing transportation to and from school.
- A student on an approved intra-district transfer may be subject to reassignment due to excessive enrollment at a school site.
What is an Incoming Inter-district Acceptance Permit?
Inter-district Acceptance into an EMCSD School when the student belongs to a District other than EMCSD. This requires District approved release from the resident School District to begin. Students accepted into the Dual Language Immersion program who live in a different district must be released from the home district first.
Provisional enrollment will be granted until the permit process is complete. Families interested in attending an EMCSD school has 60-days from the first day of school of your home district to secure a permit to continue attending an EMCSD school.
To receive provisional enrollment, please contact or visit your school of choice in EMCSD.
