Enrollment Office

At Missoula County Public Schools, we want parents and students to have the information and tools they need to ensure their transition to a new school is smooth and comfortable.

Missoula County Public Schools is committed to equality of educational opportunity and to equal employment opportunity. Equal education opportunities shall be available for all students without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, religion, physical or mental disability, economic or social conditions, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender nonconformity, or actual or potential marital or parental status. Inquires or complaints regarding discrimination should be directed to Trevor Laboski, Executive Director of Human Resources and Labor Relations, at (406)728-2400, ext. 1038.

Registration

Find Your Neighborhood School

Enrollment into an MCPS school is based on the address of your primary residence. Students are assigned to schools in an attendance area according to the student's physical address (where they live). Space availability is generally not a problem, but periodically, students may need to attend a school other than their neighborhood school if all classrooms are full. Not sure what school your student should attend? Visit infoFinder to search by your home address and find out which schools serve that address.

Enrollment Forms

Parents/Guardians must print enrollment forms and submit additional materials for each child to be enrolled.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Kindergarten registration opens the spring prior to the fall. A child must be aged 5 by Sept. 10th to begin kindergarten in August.

Printable Enrollment Forms and Additional Materials:

Elementary and Middle School Forms (Grades EL-8)

High School Forms (Grades 9-12)

Parents must also provide:

A Copy of the student's Birth Certificate. (The hospital-issued Certificate of Live Birth is NOT a birth certificate.)
A copy of the student's complete immunization records, OR State of Montana Certificate of Immunization (blue form). Please review immunization requirements to ensure your child is fully immunized.
Residency Verification - one item that verifies physical home address, such as power bill, water bill, garbage bill, landline phone bill that shows name and address of service, or lease agreement.
A copy of the student's transcripts (these are OPTIONAL, but helpful to get middle and high school students placed in classes, although official records from the student's previous school of attendance will be requested).

Return Forms and Materials to District/School

Registration materials may be submitted as attachments by email to studentregistration@mcpsmt.org. You will receive a communication (by phone or email) confirming that the District has received your student's enrollment application and materials.

Materials for students in grades K-8 should be returned to Administration Building A at 909 South Ave. West in Missoula.
MCPS high schools in Missoula are open and can directly accept enrollment materials for students in grades 9-12.

Please understand that school staff may ask parents who submit enrollment materials either by mail/email to visit the school at a convenient time to discuss placement based on student's age and space availability.

Questions? Please contact MCPS at 728-2400, ext. 1082, or email studentregistration@mcpsmt.org.
