Child Welfare and Attendance
The Child Welfare and Attendance Department provides service relating to registration, attendance, truancies, transfers, student discipline, suspensions and expulsions.
Beginning November 1, 2010 through April 1, 2011 the office of Child Welfare and Attendance will begin taking Intra and Inter District transfer applications for the 2011-2012 school year. You may pick up an application in the office of Child Welfare and Attendance located at 47950 Dune Palms Rd. in La Quinta. Applications are also available on line by going into the Desert Sands Unified School District web site under Child Welfare and Attendance documents.
Transfers are allowed in Desert Sands per Board of Education policy, and are based on space and program availability. For schools whose capacity will not allow for the number of applications made, an unbiased lottery process is made to fill available spots for applications that have been submitted on or before April 1, 2011. Two lotteries will be conducted: One will be for Intra-District transfers, and one for Inter-District transfers. Applicants who are not chosen are placed on a waiting list in the order established by the lottery in case more spots open up at a later date. Parents will be notified by mail as to whether or not they were selected by May 31, 2011.
