   School Transfer Within District

{Your Name}

{Date}

Dear {Administrator Name}:

Since {date}, I have been seeking a transfer for my {son/daughter}, {Name}, from {School 1} to {School 2}. {He/she} is currently on a waiting list, and I would like to request that {his/her} case be reviewed again in light of extenuating circumstances.

I understand that you prioritize returning seniors, returning other students, and siblings of students before others. However, my child needs to transfer as soon as possible because {he/she is being bullied, it's the only way to schedule rides, etc.}. The situation is urgent, and I'm concerned that if {he/she} stays at {School 1}, I will have to {quit my job to accommodate, move, pull the child, seek therapy, etc.}. I would like to avoid such an extreme response, and I know that {he/she} would excel at {School 2}. {He/she} is a bright, promising student who makes good grades and enjoys {activity}.

I would like to thank you for your help and consideration in resolving this matter as quickly as possible.

Thank you,

{Sender Name}
