Returning Students » Middle School Registration Information and Forms
Dear Middle School Parents,
 
In an effort to ensure a smooth and efficient opening of the 2008-2009 school-year, South Pasadena Middle School will be holding our annual Registration on August 18, 19 and 20 (8am - 11am and 2pm - 3:30pm). You should have received your appointment time to register your student in an early August mailing from the middle school. If you didn't receive your registration time call the middle school at (626) 441-5830 after August 13.
 
For those of you that have registered before, you know that there are many district forms that must be read. District-wide we have used more than 45,000 pieces of paper each fall to communicate all necessary information to you!
 
Again this year: In order to save paper we ask you to view all of the registration documents by clicking the links below and sign a "District Acknowledgment Form" to verify that you have read the documents.
 
The first link is for a "District Acknowledgment Form" for you to sign and confirm that you have opened and read all the registration documents.  We ask that you sign and return this form during registration in August.
 
To be prepared for registration you should:
1. Update and bring in the "Student Demographic Update Information" form mailed to you in June.
2. Read the on line Registration Documents below.
3. Print and Sign the "District Acknowledgment Form"
4. Report to school on August 18, 19, or 20 for registration (8am - 11am and 2pm - 3:30pm).
5. Bring in a document from one of each of the Residency Verification Document Categories found at the bottom of this
    Letter.**
