Mail-In Registration
Everything needed to complete the registration process for continuing Poston students will be mailed to your home on July 7, 2008. Each Personalized Registration Packet will contain the following forms with instructions that are easy to follow. We encourage you to complete and to return your completed paperwork with your payment as soon as possible, with it postmarked no later than July 25, 2008.
Your packet should contain the following:
Required Emergency & Information Form: The pre-printed information on this form will need to be checked for accuracy and signed by a parent or guardian. If the IMMUNIZATION NOTICE section indicates REQUIRED, you must provide the nurse with proof that immunizations are current before your student will receive his/her class schedule. By signing the Required Emergency & Information Form and including proof that immunizations are current when returning your completed registration forms, your class schedule will be mailed back to you with your Bookstore Receipt, ID Card, etc. If you do not sign this form and provide proof that immunizations are current (if required), your class schedule will be held until you provide proof and/or sign the form. At that time, you will receive your class schedule.
Fee Explanation Sheet: When Mesa junior and senior high school students register for school each fall, some non-required fee situations and the required A-Hour or Overload class fees may apply. The information on this form will explain the different options available to you. *Please note that full payment for Poston A-Hour classes or Mountain View Overload classes (both semesters) must be paid when you return your completed registration paperwork, even if you pay no other fees.
Registration Fee Sheet: This form lists all of the items that are available for you to purchase. At the bottom of this form is a list of the classes your student will be taking next year. You must cross-reference the required and voluntary material donations that apply to the classes listed to determined what you will include in the payment you send back with your completed paperwork.

The cost of a yearbook is $25 with an ID card only and for $23 with the purchase of an activity card. If you miss the deadline, we may have a very limited number of extra yearbooks available the day after pre-sold yearbooks are distributed in May. Any extra yearbooks will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost at that time will be $30 for everyone.
