  • New Student Enrollment

    New student enrollment for the 2025-26 school year is open.
    We are currently accepting students for the 2025-26 school year. For more information on enrollment, contact School Administrator Kimberly Jokela at 209-835-2283.

    Process for Mountain House Elementary School Residents:
    For students living within the Mountain House Elementary School community, a new enrollment requires two Proofs of Residency. 
    *Even if an older sibling has been attending Mountain House Elementary School, if a younger sibling has never attended, they must be enrolled FIRST.

    Process for Interdistrict Transfers

    For students who reside outside the community of Mountain House Elementary School, all Interdistrict requests must be initiated in the student's district of residence. 

    1. Complete an Interdistrict Transfer Application and submit it to your school district of residence (Home District). This is a required step.

    2. Once your Home District signs and approves, you must submit the Interdistrict Transfer to MHESD for their review. This does not guarantee your student's enrollment.

    3. If MHESD approves your Interdistrict Transfer application, you will receive notice of approval.

    Please be mindful of the following:
    If we do not receive your Interdistrict Transfer Agreement your registration CAN NOT be approved. ​​​
