New Student Overview
All new students entering Martensdale-St. Marys Community School District must start their registration process in person at the Central Office.
Following an initial visit to the Central Office, new students will need to complete and establish the following:
- Proof of Residency
- Provide Previous School Records
- Set up Class Schedule with the Guidance Department
- Provide Updated Medical Records & Birth Certificate
- Attend Registration
Proof of Residency
All new students must provide proper documentation to establish residency within the district. This must state the student’s physical address; a post office box is not acceptable. If you do not know whether you reside in the Martensdale-St. Marys district, contact Josh Jacobs.
Provide Previous School Records
New students must provide the name, address, and phone number of your child(ren)’s previous school to request records.
Establish a Class Schedule
Students entering 7th grade or above must set up a class schedule. For 7th and 8th graders, this must be done by arranging a meeting with the Guidance Counselor after your Request of Records has been made. For high school students, your records must be available and then a class schedule will be arranged (no meeting with Guidance is needed).
Updated Medical Records & Proof of Birth
You will need your child’s up-to-date immunization record, dental screening, lead screening (preschool and kindergarten only), and proof of birth (such as a birth certificate).
