Verification Day Friday, August 2nd from 8 AM to 11 AM and 1 PM to 3 PM
Form_Code of Conduct Flyer
Student Enrollment Form 24_25

Please make sure you have registered for school. This means all documents are uploaded correctly so we can process your application as complete. Right now, our numbers are higher than ever, and we have only 3 spots left in some grades. If you have not completed registration and a grade level fills up, you will have to go to the next closest school. Please make sure you have everything submitted.

There are two additional forms we need from you, which are linked above. One form is our in-house registration form, and the other is your acknowledgment of the student handbook and the MCSD handbook. Once these forms are turned in, we will give you your car tag and teacher assignment. Additional car tags are $1.

If you would like to complete all of these before verification, I would encourage you to do so. Our verification day is Friday, August 2nd from 8 AM to 11 AM and 1 PM to 3 PM. If you have completed the two forms and received your car tag prior to verification, you can go straight to the classroom and skip any lines. If you have an older student and want to get your forms turned in and car tags prior and feel comfortable not meeting the teacher beforehand, that is fine. Just come to the school beforehand and get squared away.

The school will be open to turn in forms and get car tags on:
Tuesday, July 16th 9 AM – 3 PM
Wednesday, July 17th 9 AM – 3 PM
Thursday, July 18th 9 AM – 3 PM
Tuesday, July 23rd 9 AM – 3 PM
Wednesday, July 24th 9 AM – 3 PM
Thursday, July 25th 9 AM – 3 PM
Please email me if you have any questions.

Hope you are having a great summer. We need your help with Online Registration.
PLEASE DO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to give us time to process all 800 students before Verification Day. If you have completed this and have your online registration number, your time spent in line is considerably less. We will start verification early for people who are completely registered and give out car tags. We are already assigning teachers for students.
If you have not registered entirely and classes fill up to max sizes, there is a chance you could be sent to another school. We are already projected a lot higher than last year.
