Deadline to Re-Enroll CURRENT Students For 2021-22: Thursday, December 3
We have started the re-enrollment process for current students who are planning to return to Maeser for Fall 2021. If your student is planning to return, you must pay the $50 re-enrollment deposit and complete, sign and return the required form (sent via email on November 2) to the front office. We prefer that you pay the $50 re-enrollment fee online or by calling the front office. Attach your receipt to your re-enrollment form.
If you do not return your form and pay the fee by Thursday, December 3, 2020 you are indicating that your student is not returning to Maeser for the 2021-22 school year.
If you miss the deadline and need to re-apply for your current student, please submit a New Student Application for the 2021-2022 school year through the Apply link on our website. Your student will be placed in the enrollment lottery held in February 2021.
NEW Student Lottery Applications Are Now OPEN for 2021-22
Lottery applications for NEW students for the 2021-22 school year are NOW OPEN! If you have more than one NEW student applying for Maeser next year, you must submit a separate application for each new student.
REMEMBER: DO NOT submit an online application for your CURRENT Maeser student — online applications are for NEW students only. Re-enrollment must be completed in person in the front office.
To submit an application for a NEW student, click here to complete the Lottery Application. You can also access the lottery application by visiting our website (www.maeserprep.org) and clicking Apply — be sure to choose the correct year (2021-2022).
Science Fair Submissions Due Monday, November 30, 2020
Because of this unusual year, we will be doing the school science fair differently. We will not be holding a live, in person fair. If you would like to sign up to be evaluated to move forward to the district science fair, fill out this form: 2020 District Science Fair Sign Up
We will then have your teacher fill out a recommendation for you to move on and we will contact you about the district fair individually. Questions? Contact Mrs Hansen: angie.hansen@maeserprep.org
MS Service Activity: December 2 & 3
The middle school student council is sponsoring a service activity for all students in 7th and 8th grades during lunch on Wednesday and Thursday, December 2nd and 3rd! Middle school students: you are invited to join your student council in the cafeteria during lunch on your assigned in-person day to write thank you notes as Christmas presents for our teachers! Hot chocolate, paper, and writing utensils will be provided. We’d love for every teacher to get a thank you note.
