  • Students in grades 1st through 8th need a copy of the last report card and/or state test scores (STAR or equivalent).
  • Everyone needs 3 original (we will immediately copy and return) proofs of their residency in Mill Valley.  Three (3) different types of proofs of residency within the Mill Valley School District boundaries are required when registering a student for school.  The three (3) proofs must be from the following seven (7) categories, with no more than ONE from any category.  Original documents presented at the District Office will be copied and returned to resident. The following documents are acceptable proofs of residency:

    1. Recent property tax bill that contains evidence of Homeowner’s Exemption

    2. Current, dated rental/lease agreement showing the address with lessor-lessee-realtor names and signatures; and contact information.  If agreement is month-to-month or has expired, a current extension from the landlord is required.

    3. Current California driver’s license or California identification card indicating residence address within district boundaries.  If a P.O. box is used, DMV verification of residency is required.

    4. Utility bills indicating residence address and dated within 60 days of registration.  Acceptable bills include:

    1. PG&E

    5. Public assistance documents.

    6. Employment record, e.g. recent payroll stub, if address indicated

  • Every student needs his/her latest immunization record (Exception is potential kindergartners registering for the following fall. In that case parents will find a physical/immunization form in the registration packet, which must be completed by their physician and returned to the Mill Valley School District Office as soon as possible.) By California State law, a child may not be  admitted to school without proof of current immunizations.
  • A TB test is required if your family is moving to Mill Valley from countries in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, or the Pacific Islands. The test must have been administered upon arrival in the United States. Written proof of a negative test result will be required before the child can start school.
