Stege Elementary School
New or Transfer Students Registration
Inter-District
Inter-district transfers involve students who live outside WCCUSD boundaries but wish to attend a WCCUSD school—or WCCUSD students who want to attend school in another district. Approval requires a release from the home district and acceptance by the receiving district.
Intra-District
Intra-district transfers allow students to attend a school other than their neighborhood school within the West Contra Costa Unified School District. Families may request a transfer based on special programs, transportation needs, or family circumstances.
