Student Transfer System (STS) Guide

Accessing Your ParentVUE Account

If you have ever had a student enrolled in Prince George's County Public Schools, then you already have parent data in the system that is linked to your student's account. The existing data is used to create your ParentVUE account, but for security purposes, you must have either an activation link or activation key to activate your account.

You can request account activation online by entering existing parent information, including the last email address entered for the parent in the the student information system. The activation code will go to that email address. 

If you no longer have access to that account, you should take proof of identification to your child's current school to request a printed activation key.

If you have never had any child enrolled in a PGCPS school you will need to register for a new account.

Important Notes for Student Transfer Requests

Select the Correct Grade Level

• When applying for a transfer, you must select the grade your child will be enrolled in during the upcoming school year.
• If the grade level you’re seeking is not listed, it means there are no remaining seats available for that grade.
• Do not select an incorrect grade level—doing so will invalidate your transfer request.
• If your request is invalidated, you will not be able to submit another transfer request until the following school year.

Confirmation Number

• After submitting your transfer request, the system will generate a 5-digit confirmation number.
• Be sure to write this number down and keep it until you receive your official transfer decision letter.
• You will need this number when following up or referencing your transfer request in any communications.

Transfer Decision Letters

• For transfer requests submitted between April 28 and May 16, decision letters will be sent out by June 30.
• Do not withdraw your child from their boundary (home) school before receiving your official decision letter.
