Who needs a transfer to attend Valley Vista?

If you live in the attendance area of another PCS Elementary School, and you are a new family submitting an application for the 2024-25 school year via SchoolMint, you will not need to complete an intra-district transfer. The intra-district transfer form is embedded in the SchoolMint application. If you are transferring to Valley Vista during the current school year and live in the attendance area of another PCS Elementary School, please complete the intra-district transfer form.  If you live in the residential area of another school district, you need an inter-district transfer.  Both can be found on the PCS Website or in our school office.

How do I register?
