Admissions, Enrollment, and Transfers

In-district

All students living within the Black Butte School District (BBSD) boundaries (‘resident students’) may attend Black Butte School. Students in grades 7-12 may enroll at Sisters Middle or High Schools under a BBSD and Sisters School District (SSD) tuition agreement contract. For students attending Sisters Middle School or Sisters High School, BBSD will remain the student’s residing district with SSD serving as the attending district. ‘Resident students’ who attend Sisters Middle School or Sisters High School may also be eligible for supplemental services provided by BBSD, including among other items, reimbursement of pay-to play fees, college counseling and college testing preparation courses.

Transferring into Black Butte School District

Out-of-district

BBSD may accept transfer students from outside of the district. If interested in applying to transfer into Black Butte School District, please contact Family Community Engagement Coordinator, Molly Schultz to schedule a tour and meeting with the principal.

Interested families will be placed on a waitlist in the order of the first contact made with BBS and the student’s placement on the list will be confirmed upon a school tour and meeting.

Once out-of-district enrollment is accepted, families must also fill out an Inter-District Transfer Request form and receive permission from their resident school district.

Please note: All transfer requests will be processed on a case-by-case basis, depending on availability of spaces at the grade level/s requested. Please note that bussing may not be available and parents may need to provide transportation to and from school.

BBSD may deny regular school admission to a student who is expelled from another school district and who subsequently becomes a resident of the district or who applies for admission to the district as a nonresident student. The district may revoke transfers for not meeting behavior requirements or meeting attendance standards. A transfer cannot be revoked for academic reasons.

Resident Students Transferring out of Black Butte School District

We believe that school choice is an important part of the educational process. We hope resident families and students find that the Black Butte School is the best educational option, however, if you are considering transferring out of BBSD, we would appreciate discussing such a move prior to it being a final decision. Please read the documents linked below that detail the transfer policies as well as the application form. If a ‘resident student’ leaves the district on an inter-district transfer to another school district, that student will no longer be a ‘resident student’ of BBSD.

NON-DISCRIMINATION NOTICE: Black Butte School District recognizes the diversity and worth of all individuals and groups in our society. It is the policy of the BBSD Board of Directors that all educational programs, activities, and employment will be free of discrimination or harassment on the grounds of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, parental or marital status, or age.
