Getting started in MPS

There are several things to consider when you choose a school. To find your neighborhood school, use our maps and locator. If you are interested in a school outside your attendance area, you may submit an open enrollment request at the campus of your choice.

Register your child at the school office. Bring the student’s certified birth certificate with a state seal, immunization record and proof of residency.

We value parent involvement and support. We look forward to working with you and your child to make the most of our programs and services. For information, please contact us, or see the frequently asked questions online.
