2025-26 Re-Enrollment & Applications Now Open

Please remember that you must re-enroll each of your students who will be returning NEXT school year by Wednesday, November 20 at 4:00 PM.

If you miss this window, your student(s) will lose priority status for next year and will have to re-apply without current student priority status.

Re-enrollment is completed through your PowerSchool parent portal. Be sure to use a browser (not the app) and sign in using your parent PowerSchool account credentials (not your student’s account credentials). Pay the $50 re-enrollment deposit on RevTrak or to the front office.

If you need help with your PowerSchool parent login (make sure you’re not using your student’s PowerSchool login), please call the front office at 801-235-9000 or email info@maeserprep.org. If you have any other questions, please email registrar@maeserprep.org.

If you have other children starting at Maeser next year, you need to submit an application for them by January 31 to be in the lottery (it will ask you if they have a current sibling here, which will give them priority status). Applications can be found at https://maeserprep.org/admissions.

Tickets For The Lost Boy

Tickets for this year’s winter play, The Lost Boy/em> by Ronald Gabriel Palillo, will be on sale for in person purchase Monday, November 11th – Thursday, November 14th during lunch (11:30-12) and after school (3:30-4).

Math Girls Rock!

Math Girls Rock! is an after school math program sponsored by UVU. The next meeting of Math Girls Rock will be held on Thursday, November 14th, right after school. If you have already turned in your permission slip, you don’t need to turn in another one. If you need a permission slip, please contact Mrs. Plott (rochelle.plott@maeserprep.org). This program is open to all students (boys, girls, high school, middle school) in any level of math. As always, we will do fun math, have treats, and win prizes.
