For New and Returning Joaquin Miller Families

Registration Day for the 2010-2011 school year will be on August 28, 2010.
We are asking that new parents provide the school with a copy of their assignment letter from the Student Assignment office and a verbal acknowledgment of their wish to come to JM. In most cases this has already been done.
Parents will be able to pick up their registration packet from the school's office Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM during the weeks of August 16th and 23rd.
The packet includes all of the forms that must be competed for each child. There are additional forms for new students such as, immunization and dental health forms. (If your packet does not have these additional forms and you need them, you will be able to pick them up on August 28.)
All families, new and returning, are asked to bring their completed packets back to school on Saturday, August 28, 2010. In anticipation of crowds, we are suggesting that grades K-2 come to the multi-purpose room from 8:30 – 10:30 and grades 1-5 come from 10:30 – 2:30. If you are not able to make it on this day or during this time, please send a person in your absence. We understand that vacations have been scheduled and in that case you can bring the forms back to the office on the first day of school. Parents who have more than one child may come in at whatever time best suits their schedule. The idea behind the time is to help manage the crowd flow and not to make more work for the families.
Parents, who return their child’s forms on August 28, will receive a folder with their child’s classroom assignment and all other beginning of the school information, as well as a new Boomerang Folder to organize homework.
The PTA will be on-hand to take your PTA Membership dues, classroom donations, and you will be able to purchase school sweatshirts for your child.
Class assignments will be posted on the School Doors at the end of the day on Saturday. The posting will allow parents who are not able to come on August 28th the opportunity to know their child’s placement for the first day.
We hope that this process is clear and helpful. We want to give parents ample time to complete the forms, return the forms in an orderly manner, and to allow parents an opportunity to receive your class assignments in a friendly atmosphere with staff on hand to address your concerns.
School begins August 30, 2010.
Welcome Back To School!
