Registration Information
Registration for new students typically begins in March for the following school year. Students are placed in classes on a first come, first served basis. McMillin School is an ‘impacted’ school. Frequently, we encounter the circumstance in which we cannot accommodate students. When this occurs, the District Office arranges for the students to be temporarily ‘overflowed’ to a nearby school. Students have the opportunity to return to McMillin as spaces become available.
Registration for the 2008-09 school year starts on Wednesday, March 12, 2008. If you are planning to register for school at McMillin, please read the following carefully.

Class Assignments
Class assignments for the new school year are typically posted on the evening before the first day of school in July. Kindergarten families are sent their assignments through the mail in late June. The assignment of students is a collective decision made by the principal, teachers, support staff, and Student Study Team. The unique needs of each student are considered as well as the need to maintain balance and equity in the following areas: boy/girl ratio, ethnicity, and a range of achievement levels. Class assignments at the beginning of the school year are tentative. Changes will not be made in the first two weeks of school while we work to ensure balance in all areas. After that time, parents may make an appointment with the principal to discuss possible changes.
Residency Verification
State law requires that we renew residency verification for every student on an annual basis. Our district allows us to conduct residency verification no earlier than 60 days prior to each school year. The Board of Education has defined the documents which can be accepted. Please watch for information about this important process at the end of each school year.
