  • REMINDER: School Tour Days and Attendance Boundaries

    Foothill Elementary and Highland Elementary Families, Just a friendly reminder that this evening Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School of the Arts will offer an in-person school tour and tomorrow Monte Vista Elementary School will offer a virtual tour. Other upcoming tour dates of these two and other neighboring schools may be found on the flyer below. The Board of Education is still in the process of reviewing and approving the boundaries. Once the boundaries are approved, the district will work to identify your child's new school of residence (school closest to your home) and send follow-up communication to you. As you may know, students in MPUSD have the opportunity to apply for a transfer from one school to another within the district based on space availability. The Open Enrollment transfer period is now open for families; and we are extending the deadline for Foothill and Highland families beyond the deadline for other MPUSD families. As part of the process, four of our schools close to your residence are offering school tours (in person or virtual) so you may visit, ask questions, and get an overall sense of the school environment. In-person and virtual tour meetings available. Links for virtual tours are noted in flyer and below. We also have two promotional videos of two of our schools available so you may learn more.

  • Open Enrollment (Student Transfers) Underway for Ele...

    Open Enrollment  for grades Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade is now open for the 2022-2023 school year. As a reminder, the window for high school Open Enrollment was held earlier and closed on December 17, 2021, to facilitate class schedules and teacher/student placements.   Middle and Elementary School Open Enrollment: January 5, 2022 - February 4, 2022   This period is the only time to request a transfer from one school to another school within the district for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. If you wish to request a transfer you must complete a request form (online form in light green below) no later than Friday, February 4, 2022 for middle and elementary school. Open Enrollment Request Form (English) Open Enrollment Request Form (Spanish) Students currently on a transfer are automatically renewed and you do not have to do anything to keep your student at the school he/she is currently attending. Students entering 6th grade (unless you are at the Dual Language Academy of the Monterey Peninsula) will automatically roll over to the middle school in the learning community in which the student is currently attending. For example, if your child is attending Olson Elementary School, he/she will automatically roll over to Los Arboles Middle School even though you do not live in Marina.   If you wish your student to return to the school nearest your residency, please immediately notify your school of residence so the district may plan accordingly. For example, if your student attends Olson Elementary School and you live in Monterey and want your student to attend Walter Colton Middle School, you must go to Walter Colton Middle School and enroll your student with a proof of residency showing you reside in Monterey.   ALL TRANSFER REQUESTS MUST BE MADE DURING THE OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR AND ARE CONTINGENT UPON SPACE AVAILABILITY.   If you need a hard copy form, they may be obtained at your school site or the District Office at 700 Pacific Street in Monterey, and submitted in person, as well.
