If I am withdrawing my child, do I need to request withdrawal records?
When you withdraw from Denton ISD to enroll in another Texas public school district or charter school, the receiving school will request your student’s records through a state system titled, Texas Records Exchange (TREx). It is not necessary to hand carry your student’s records to the new school, TREx will electronically transmit your student’s records to their new campus. If you withdraw in-person, you will receive a withdrawal packet to take to the receiving campus.
