Transfer

When a parent residing in the Muskego-Norway School District requests entry or reentry of a child into Muskego-Norway Schools, the following procedures will apply.

1. Decisions regarding placement, credits, and rank in class for transferring students into the Muskego-Norway School District from public, private, home based and foreign schools, will be made by the principal or designee and will be based on the following materials which may be requested of the parents as part of the enrollment process:
   •  Transcripts and record of academic progress.
   • Assessment of course description and curriculum.
   •  The district's usual enrollment information, including birth certificate, immunization records, etc.
   • Summary of the curriculum the student has completed.
   • The student's progress towards meeting the objectives of the curriculum including summary of assignments and grades.
2. The school officials may initiate an assessment team process to assist with placement of the student.  The process may involve a teacher(s), counselor, or other student support staff.
3. All students will be required to meet Muskego-Norway graduation requirements of 23 credits.  In situations where the transcript shows both percentages and grades for coursework, the grade given by the school will be placed on the transcript when enrolling at Muskego High School.
4. Courses, grades, and credits will be assessed and translated to the standard equivalent used in the Muskego-Norway Schools.
5. AP course/grades will be translated to the MHS weighted scale.
6. In the event that academic records, course descriptions, or recognized accreditation certifications are not available, the principal or designee will evaluate the academic progress to determine appropriate placement.
7. A Non-Traditional Programming form may be filled out to waive course requirements for students who meet state graduation requirements (i.e. .5 credits Health).
