UPDATED Information: Intradistrict Transfers: On Wednesday, the MDUSD School Board made some changes to the Intradistrict Transfer Information for grades 1-12 and for Monte Gardens & Sequoia. Here is the website with this information: Intradistrict Transfer.

 

In order to align the Sequoia/Monte Gardens lottery process with the District's policies and practices as they pertain to BP/AR 5116.1 Intradistrict Open Enrollment, per the February 23, 2022, Board approved amendment to both schools' program tenets, families wishing to transfer to or be waitlisted for either school must complete an Intradistrict Transfer Application during the Oct-Nov window.

  • Any students that have completed a paper application at the school site for the 2025-2026 school year MUST complete the electronic application to be part of the lottery

  • Any students (current K-5) on the Sequoia or Monte Gardens waitlists will maintain their current spot on said waitlists. Students currently in grades K-4 that would like to be added to the waitlist, must complete an Intradistrict Transfer application.

  • Monte Gardens residents DO NOT need to complete the Intradistrict Transfer Application if they want to attend the resident school.

  • Students that have been approved to attend either school may not complete any other Transfer application for the 2025-2026 school year.

Fifth Grade entering Sixth Grade Intradistrict Transfers: If you have a 5th grader your family needs to apply for an intradistrict transfer if you plan on applying to attend Sequoia Middle School or any other middle school that is not your neighborhood school. 

 

Here is the website with this information: Intradistrict Transfer.

The Intradistrict Transfer Application for grades 6-8 in the 2025-2026 will now be available from October 10 - November 10, the same time as the Secondary applications.

  • The late application will be available in May, please see the website for more details in April.

If your 5th grader plans on attending your neighborhood school, there is no need to apply for an intradistrict transfer.
