Additional Information

Click this link to complete the Online Pre-Enrollment . This "pre-enrollment" step provides the necessary documents to complete the enrollment.

Once your pre-enrollment has been submitted to the District, we will review the documents you have uploaded and process your application in the order it was submitted. An email communication will be sent to the email address you used when you created your document, with any additional requirements or with your next steps. Please wait 3-5 business days before inquiring further. Note that school breaks and peak enrollment periods may extend processing times.

Elementary and Middle School assignment is based on the location of the student's home, view our interactive boundary map to see the school for your address. As Plymouth, Canton, and Salem High Schools are all on one campus, student school assignment will be assigned at random or based on the assigned school for an older sibling.

If your student is already enrolled and attending at one of our buildings, you do not need to complete this process.

If you are looking to complete the Back to School Check In, that is completed through your MiStar Parent Connection Portal.

PARENT PORTAL (MiSTAR ACCESS)

After the first student in your family is enrolled, a parent portal account is created, for each Parent/Guardian as long as a unique email address is submitted. When the parent/guardian logs into the parent portal and views their student's account, they should look in the network information section to find their student's email address and password to log into Google and district computers. Families should also check their email and/or the district website on how to make a request for a district device.
