Student Transfer to Sister Thea Bowman
Student transfers to Sister Thea Bowman are required to provide a current report card. The school office will request records from that student’s previous school(s). At the time of registration, the family will sign a release form for the records to be transferred.
Any new transfer students, except kindergarten, is considered on probation. This status will remain effective until such time as the student’s records are received from the transferring school, and a sufficient period of time has passed to guarantee the existing school curriculum and resources meet the needs of the child. Sister Thea Bowman makes every effort to ensure we are meeting the success of your child’s education and learning needs. If there are ever any concerns, we will schedule a time to visit with the family to determine how best to meet those needs.
