Guide to Registering Students into the Mill Valley School District

• Where?
  • Registration is done at the Mill Valley School District Office, 411 Sycamore Ave. (ground level, west end of the Mill Valley Middle School building)
• What to Bring?
  • Students in all grades must have an original or certified (county seal) copy of their birth certificate or passport.
  • 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. The proofs must be no older than 60 days and the choices are:
    • Property tax bill or lease/rental agreement (that can be phone verified)
    • Signed, completed closing escrow papers, or closing letter from the escrow company (new residents, only)
    • Public assistance documents
    • All utilities listed below are acceptable if the bill is UNPAID so that billing and site address are listed on the document.
      • PG&E
      • Mill Valley Refuse bill
      • Telephone (the one connected to the wire; not cell phone or long distance carrier)
      • Tam Valley Sanitary District
      • Marin Municipal Water District
      • Comcast (cable TV)/Direct TV
    • If you move to Mill Valley during the school year, we are able to start your children in school based on the closing escrow papers or signed lease/rental agreement, but placement will be considered conditional upon receipt of the remaining proofs as listed above.
  • 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.
