My name is {Name} and I am writing to request a special school transfer to {School Name} for my {son/daughter}, {Child Name}. I am making this request due to undue hardship if {Child Name} is placed in {Original School Name}.
{Child Name} is {age} and in {grade}. According to district boundaries, {Child Name} is slated to attend {Original School Name} for {academic year}. However, your school {is walking distance from our home/is close to a unique job opportunity for Child/has {special program} not offered anywhere else}.
If {Child Name} is unable to attend {School Name}, {consequences, e.g. "our family will have no one to care for elderly relative"}. We do not have the ability to circumvent this issue any other way.
{Child Name} is a bright student with good grades and a {number} average. {He/she} has no disciplinary file and is involved in {activities}. I would like to ensure that {he/she} continues to have a great education and I hope that {he/she} might do so at your school.
Thank you for your consideration. Please notify me of your decision at your earliest convenience.
