Please join us for our annual Maeser orientation, which is designed for all new students and their parents. After a brief introduction in the gym, middle school students (7th and 8th grade) will receive their schedule and go to each of their classes on a shortened schedule. High school students will participate in student-led workshops to introduce them to the culture and expectations of Maeser students. Parents will have a parent-specific orientation and FAQ session.
Due to construction, you should enter the Maeser parking lot from 400 West. Parking will be limited to the student parking lot (on the north end of the building), along 400 West, and on the southeast corner of the Vivint parking lot (at the corner of 1600 North and 400 West).
Students should wear their regular dress uniform to orientation.

Student Fees: What Has Been Charged & What Has Not (Yet)
Your student’s annual fee(s) have been charged to their student account. They are not due until Wednesday, October 1. Annual fees include a PE uniform ($26) for all 7th graders, Winterim ($150) for all high school students and a graduation fee ($75) for all seniors. You may pay fees on RevTrak or by visiting or calling the front office.
In addition to annual fees, your student might have some class fees that will be charged to their account about two weeks into the school year. (We don’t charge these earlier because class schedules tend to fluctuate during this time.)
You can see our 2025-26 Fee Schedule & Pay Plan by going to maeserprep.org and clicking on Parents > School Fees.
If you think you may qualify for a fee waiver, please email finance@maeserprep.org for an application before Wednesday, October 1.
