Transfer Policy

Students transferring from out-of-state, non-public schools, or home-schooling are offered several options for completing the service learning requirement:

Students who transfer to Wicomico County in grades 6-8 will be required to complete the infused service-learning with their grade-level peers for the current and all subsequent grades. If they do not satisfactorily complete the infused service-learning projects, they must document 20 hours of service-learning in an approved school and/or community agency for each year enrolled through Grade 9.

Students who transfer to Wicomico County in Grade 9 will be required to complete a total of 35 hours. This may include the up to 20 hours from the 9th grade infused service-learning if they transferred early enough in the school year to participate in these experiences.

Students who transfer in grade 10, 11, or first semester of grade 12 shall complete 10 hours of service-learning in an approved school and/or community agency for each year (or part thereof) enrolled.

Students who transfer to Wicomico County in the second semester of Grade 12 shall complete five hours of service-learning in an approved school and/or community agency.

Per MSDE regulations: Under no circumstances is a student exempt from Student Service-Learning.
