Registration Instructions

Missoula County Public Schools is committed to helping families prepare their children for success in the 21st century. We are excited that you will be registering your child(ren) for enrollment in our public schools. Please follow these steps to enroll your child:

Step 1. Identify the school that your child will attend.

  1. Space is limited, so parents interested in enrolling their pre-school aged child in Jefferson Preschool must contact Deb Chilcote at (406)728-2400, ext. 5020. (Online enrollment is not available for preschool.)

Step 2. Complete Enrollment Forms and Provide Additional Materials

Parents must also provide:
  1. A Copy of the student's Birth Certificate. (The hospital issued Certificate of Live Birth is NOT a birth certificate.)
  2. 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.
  3. Residency Verification - two items that verify physical home address, such as power bill, water bill, garbage bill, landline phone bill that shows name and address of service, or lease agreement.
  4. 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).

Step 3. 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 [mapquest to Admin. Bldg]. 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.
