The Binational Transfer Document guarantees:

• Students are placed at the grade level they were in the US
  
• Students can start school when they arrive
• Students can attend their neighborhood school

Without the Binational Transfer Document:

• Students are assessed in Spanish and placed according to that level in school.
• Schools can tell families there is no room for their child, and the child may have to travel great distances to find a school that will take them.
• Students could have to wait until the following year to enroll in their local school.

Details for district staff:

• Binational Transfer Document is for students in grades 1-9
• Students in grades 10-12 no longer need to go through the process to get an Apostille, but do need to have their transcript notarized
• Read instructions
• If you need additional documents please contact the migrant program.
