WITHDRAWALS/TRANSFERS
Parents withdrawing a student from the district must notify the district and school offices at least two weeks prior to
the last day in order for withdrawal information to be prepared. Pine-Richland will provide student records for the
other school upon written request by the new school. Official records cannot be hand carried by parents. Students
will not be removed from the Pine-Richland enrollment report until official notice has been received from the receiving
school that the student has entered.
