How to transfer schools during a PCS

People making a permanent change of station have a long list of things to check before they move to their next base. This list gets even longer for those who have kids in school.

Parents should notify their child’s school about their PCS once orders are received, and ask about the earliest date they can withdraw their child. They also request the student’s cumulative record and any other documents needed for the next school.

Parents making a PCS should also contact the Army and Air Force Exchange Service school meal program to settle any accounts before they leave for their next duty station.

To make the process of transferring their children from their current school to the next more convenient, parents can reach out to the school liaison office. The office provides outbound referral information about schools and SLO contacts for the parents’ next base.
