Return the paperwork (3 pages) to the registrar and she will request your child's records from the previous school. Once BFA receives the school records, the registrar will call and make an enrollment appointment for you and your child to meet with his/her school counselor. At the meeting you will develop a plan for your child to meet his goals, feel free to ask questions about BFA and any concerns you have with your child's success.

Exiting your child from BFA:

Please contact the school you're planning on transferring your child to and complete a record release form within at least two (2) weeks of his/her departure. The new school or you will send BFA's Guidance Office the form, so BFA has permission to send your child's records. Your child will need time to turn in school materials while having teachers complete an exit form with exiting grades.  This is important so students have every possible chance to continue and not lose credit at their new school.
