1. Make sure you child has their Tdap booster shot and two doses of Varicella (VAR). A school immunization law requires all students entering 7 grade in California to be immunized with a pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine booster called Tdap and has received two doses of Varicella. All students entering into 7th grade will need proof of a Tdap shot and Varicella given on or after their 7th grade birthday before starting middle school. Parents need to present documentation of their child’s vaccination record to their elementary school's front office before the end of the school year. If you do not have a primary care provider check out this list for immunization clinics.
2. Make Sure Your Contact Information is Up-to-Date in PowerSchool. PowerSchool is a web-based student information system used by Evergreen School District. In middle school the system lets parents and students see how their student is performing academically, follow their attendance, and communicate with teachers. You can see what scores they have earned on assignments/tests, if there are any missing assignments, and sometimes see upcoming assignments. A mobile phone app is also available to access the same information.
3. Register for ParentSquare. ParentSquare is used for school and district communication, primarily using email and text.
   1. Current ESD students - The ParentSquare account(s) for parents of students currently attending an ESD school will automatically be rolled over to their assigned middle school the week before school begins.
   2. Parents of newly enrolled students should activate their ParentSquare account as soon as they receive an invitation to do so, either by email or text message.

All our middle schools offer advanced placement classes in math. In May, all 6th graders take a diagnostic math assessment called Algebra 1/Integrated Math 1 Readiness Test or MDTP. Results from the MDTP assessment AND the CAASPP math assessment assist in determining middle school math placement.

For incoming 7th graders, all middle schools offer Common Core Math 7 and Accelerated Math 7/8. Students' scoring at a mastery level qualify for advanced math class for 7th grade. Additional questions about the MDTP math assessment, or the district's set criteria for establishing math placement, can be directed to the Assistant Superintendent of Instruction. 

You will be notified in August when student schedules are sent out by mail and/or when class schedules are posted in PowerSchool, which is typically the day before school begins.
