Registration for the 2024-25 School Year
(Returning Students Only)

Parents: Using your PowerSchool parent account, click on the “Forms” icon in the left navigation menu. Please complete all forms for each student in your family. You will be asked to update your contact information and your child’s medical information, grant important permissions, and choose whether or not your child will ride the school bus this year. (Optional forms also provide links to register for the Safe Harbor after-school program, and the Open Door Adolescent Health Center at MCHS.) All families are encouraged to complete the "Household and Income" Optional Form, as this may qualify you to receive additional benefits.

All students should be registered by Friday, August 2, 2024.

All Registration can be completed online.

** We highly recommend using a computer with a Chrome browser to complete registration.**

If you need to provide any documents (such as proof of address for a change of address, custody paperwork, or any other documents, please contact your child's school for assistance.)

New Student Enrollment
(For NEW students - including Kindergartners who have not yet enrolled)

Parents: After completing the basic information requested at the link above, an MCAS staff member will review your request and email you a PowerSchool ID and password. You will be asked to create an account in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and use this information to associate your student to your login. You will also be asked to complete online Enrollment forms. One those online forms are completed, you should bring required documents (birth certificate, parent ID, proof of residency, and immunization records) to your child's school.

Enrollment vs. Registration - What is the Difference?
Enrollment is "signing up" a new student to attend our schools. Once your child is successfully enrolled with MCAS, you will be asked to "register" your child for school annually. This is an opportunity to review important student information and to sign required forms electronically prior to the child's start of school.

At the beginning of each school year, all families will be asked to Register -- completing annual forms and confirming contact and emergency information for their student(s). Returning student registration will begin the last week of July, using the PowerSchool parent portal.
