School Policies and Student Handbook 

 

Please review School Policies and the Student Handbook as part of the enrollment/registration process and before school begins each year.

 

New Student Enrollment is for students NEW to Poway Unified School District or for students who recently moved and enrolling in a new school. 

Continuing Student Registration is registration for current PUSD students for the next school year.  Continuing Student Registration is required for all students in preparation for the next school year...and for 8th grade students promoting to MCHS as a 9th grade student.  Continuing Student Registration is done in early spring each year.

 

The MCHS Counseling and MCHS Academic website pages have current and up to date information regarding course selection, counselors, course change requests, college and career readiness opportunities, and more!

 

Be sure to visit the Counseling website pages for Freshman Student Information and 8th Grade Transition as well.

 

The Counseling Scoop is updated monthly throughout the school year and has great information regarding on-campus and community opportunities for students, college and career readiness events, scholarships opportunities, internships, and much more.   

Visit the MCHS Counseling website page for course details, class selection dates and instructions, meeting with your counselor, college readiness information, tutoring needs, and more.

Note - Students attending PUSD feeder schools to MCHS will be sent registration information early February.  MCHS will also host an 8th Grade Family Night in late February/early March for parents and students.  See the Counseling website for details.

What do I bring on the first day of school?  Backpack, water, pen, paper, snack, and lunch (if not buying lunch in the cafeteria...note: lunch is currently free to all PUSD students 2023-2024).

Do I need to come to Registration Day the week before school begins?  Yes, all students need to attend their assigned registration day the week before school begins.  On 9th grade Registration Day students will pick up their class schedule, books, purchase PE clothes, and get their yearbook picture taken. 

Lockers will be available for assignment beginning the first week or two of school in the Campus Security office, and are available for assignment throughout the school year.   You can bring your own combination pad lock from home or purchase a lock in the Finance Office.  

PE Clothes can be purchased during Registration Day in August or in the Finance Office.

 

We wear RED on Fridays.  Your items can be MCHS logo items or red clothing items you have at home.  If you are interested in purchasing MCHS logo clothing, please see our webstore on the MCHS website or visit the Finance Office in the Administration building.
