Registration Sessions
INCOMING 6TH GRADE MAGNET STUDENTS
Generally registration sessions in MMS are conducted in multiple sessions. 6th grade Magnet students coming into Johnston should expect their registrations to be conducted in the second week of June. For the 2016-2017 school session, it was conducted on June 7th, 8th and 9th, 2016. It will save you time if you fill out the lunch application which is required of ALL students irrespective of whether you will be taking the Free lunch or not. This application number needs to be filled in on the registration application. The lunch application may be filled in at this link. https://mealapps.houstonisd.org/Register.aspx
Magnet parents should expect to see a PTO representative, for registering with the PTO for communications and buying school uniforms. JOINING THE PTO IS FREE. An example flyer of the PTO uniform sales is at this link. Pricing, dates and timing may change. Expect the Physical Education Team (PE) to be present as well. The PE team will be selling PE uniforms. From the 2016 - 2017 school year, the children who plan to get enrolled in Karate sessions through Kickstart Kids do need the PE uniform as well. They will also be getting separate uniform through the Kickstart kids program.
Following this registration session, the only other session 6th grade magnet students will attend, is the Greyhound Camp (There is a parent camp on the same day and time). Read details under the Greyhound Camp Page.
In the year 2016 - 2017, online Pre-Registration was introduced. This involved filling up details as existing in an enrollment form with submission of proof of residence (a pdf or jpeg file of DL etc.). This was open from August 15th - August 18th 2016 at this link. http://www.houstonisd.org/domain/150175. If the link is not working, click here for a sample view of the webpage. This may change. On clicking the button to enter the pre-registration portal, the parents used to be taken to an enrollment information form which used to look like this.
Students who were accepted into the MMS Magnet Program for the 2016-2017 school year and who were unable to attend the June Registration events needed to schedule an appointment to complete enrollment. These enrollment appointments were available beginning August 1 – August 8. These were available at https://mpvams.youcanbook.me/ . This link may change.

NON-MAGNET 6TH GRADERS AND ALL RETURNING STUDENTS
This session proceeds on an example schedule as shown below. This year onward, 2016-2017, pre-registrations were (are) to be done on-line. Lunch applications may also need to be filled in during the pre-registration which is mandatory for everyone. The Pre-Registration was expected to be done at this link. http://www.houstonisd.org/domain/43223. The Pre-Registration was open for returning 8th graders first, from August 1st - August 5th 2016. Following this, the Pre-Registration were opened for returning 7th graders next, from August 8th - August 12th 2016.
Following these preregistration days, for all returning 7th and 8th grade students, no further school visits were needed. The ARIA list (the first class) were posted outside the school 2 days prior and students were supposed to refer to it and report to the first class. ARIA teachers provided the full class schedule to the students on the first day of school. Students whose names didn't appear in the lists, were requested to report to the library and their schedules were provided in the library.
During this school year 2016-2017 school year, for our incoming zoned new students from 6th – 8th grade, Face to Face registrations were mandatory. The sessions were scheduled on August 15th – August 18th 2016. The location for this registration session was the gymnasium and the timing was from 9 AM – 3 PM. These sessions used to close up at 2:30 PM. Please watch the school website for any changes.
Please make use of this time to register for PTO emails and purchase school uniforms for your child, including the PE uniforms. Some of the uniform sizes run out quickly and have needed to be reordered due to high demand. An example flyer of this session is at this link. Make sure to register for PTO emails (through MSA) so that, in case the uniforms sizes for your children run out, you can be informed when they become available. Note that the PE uniform sales used to close up at lunch time (12 PM) owing to teacher training and different summer schedules. So it is best to arrive in the morning for registrations, if you plan to buy PE uniforms at the same time. PE Uniforms can also be purchased on the first day of PE class by the students, provided you send required funds with the students. The costs were $10 per shirt and $10 per short, so send a minimum of $20 with your child.
Due to the large number of families performing registrations and uniform purchases, especially on the day of start of registrations, the session can be quite long. Document checking etc. takes some time and you have to go through multiple counters (document check counter, nurse counter for medical form and final registration counter). So please be patient and account for at-least 1 - 2 hours wait time. Bring your favorite book / digital toy along to keep you and your child occupied.
FOR ALL STUDENTS
