ReEnrollmentJune 30 Deadline for Re-Enrollment for Next School Year
from the MPCSD Registrar

MPCSD logoAll students in the Menlo Park City School District must Re-Enroll for 2012-2013 by June 30, 2012. Our schools are severely impacted by increased enrollment, so we are requiring parents to confirm their spot for the coming school year by Re-Enrolling by June 30th. This has been done in August in prior years.

If you are not planning to return to the District in the fall, please contact the district office immediately at (650) 321-7140.

You should have received an email message from the District office dated June 8 with instructions for mandatory online Re-Enrollment of every student who will be attending grades Kindergarten through 8 this fall. Even families that recently registered children for Kindergarten will have to complete the online Re-Enrollment since it involves data verification and required annual legal notices and agreements.

The District will again be using Infosnap to electronically Re-Enroll students. If Internet access is an issue, a computer will be available at the Registrar's office. Please note that the databases used for PTO and District newsletters are not the same as the MPCSD Registration database. Getting this newsletter does not mean your email is on the Registrar's mailing list. 

If you have changed your email address in the past year or if you would like to make sure the correct email address is in the MPCSD Registration database, please email registrar@mpcsd.org and include your name, your child(ren)'s name, school and grade.  

Thank you for your cooperation with mandatory Re-Enrollment.
