The quickest and easiest way for parents and guardians to enroll new or returning students to MCS is through its online system at EnrollinMCS.org. That process will begin Monday, April 10.

In order to expedite the registration process for those attending in-person registration events, parents should bring:
- Current identification
- Proof of residency
- Student’s birth certificate
