RFISD Families,

 

The enrollment and transfer process for 2025-2026 school year has begun, and we wanted to review some important highlights in the process. All transfer applications will be completed online this year—this includes both returning transfer students and new transfer students.

 

As a reminder, RFISD is required to serve all students living on Randolph Air Force Base. After establishing how many seats, services, and staff are available to ensure needs are met for Randolph AFB students, we will consider transfer applications based on priority order. This priority is determined based on the level of funding received through Impact Aid funds since that is a primary funding source for RFISD. RFISD does not receive any funding through state property taxes, unlike most other public-school districts in Texas.

 

Transfer consideration priority order:

1. Active-duty or USC Title X military connected students residing on federal property other than Randolph AFB

2. Active-duty or USC Title X military connected students residing off federal property

3. Civilian personnel working on federal property

4. Retired military (20 years of service) and not working on federal property

 

Other criteria that may exclude a transfer student from immediate approval:

· Grades and academic record

· Attendance, including tardies and early sign-outs

· Discipline records

 

No transfer students will be accepted if they would require hiring of additional staff beyond the allotment made for students residing within the boundaries of Randolph Field ISD.

 

Transfer applications for current and new students for the 2025-2026 school year opened on Wednesday, February 12th, 2025.

 

Applications will be reviewed, and notification of acceptance or waitlist status for the first round of transfer applications of returning students, pre-kindergarten students, and kindergarten students will be sent by 5pm on April 7, 2025, via email. Please add [email protected] to your “safe senders” list to prevent emails from unintentionally ending up in your SPAM folder.

 

Please check back here for updates and communication regarding the next round of notifications.

 

Sincerely,

The Transfer Consideration Team
