Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about our student transfer policy. We appreciate your interest in McAlester Public Schools.

McAlester Public Schools makes decisions about student transfers in accordance with district policy and state law. You can download our comprehensive district policy below; however, we are providing the following information for your convenience:

• Transfers for siblings must be considered separately. If the grade a student requests is over capacity, he/she will be offered the opportunity to be placed on a waiting list.
• Transfer students must abide by eligibility requirements established by the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association (OSSAA) for OSSAA-sanctioned activities.
• Decisions about transfers for the 2024-2025 school year will be made on an ongoing basis throughout the school year. We will contact parents directly about the approval status of their child’s transfer.
• Mid-year transfer requests will be considered within 5 days of the district receiving the application. Confirmation on approvals may take up to a week.
• Decisions about transfers for the 2025-2026 school year will not be considered until after August 1, 2025. We will contact parents directly about the approval status of their child’s transfer.
• Unsure if you need a transfer? Please call the MPS Central Office at (918)423-6229 and talk with Stacey.

If you have any questions about the transfer process or need access to technology to complete the forms, you can visit our Central Office located at 200 East Adams in McAlester, Oklahoma.
