Intra-district transfer applies to students who live in the Lakeville Area Schools district boundary area, but wish to attend a different school in the district other than the one assigned to their residence. 

The intra-district transfer process applies only to families who currently live within the boundaries of Lakeville Area Schools and are applying to attend a school other than their attendance area school. If you do not currently live within the boundaries of Lakeville Area Schools, please follow the procedures for Open Enrollment.

Open enrollment is for families who live outside the Lakeville Area School boundary line, and wish for their student to attend a Lakeville Area School. Learn more about open enrollment here.
