Our registration will be from 10:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M. on Tuesday, July 25th in the Gym. Please make every effort to attend this event with your child as they will pick up their schedule and take their school picture for the yearbook and their student ID card. If you are unable to make it, the office will be open for schedule pick up only, on Wednesday, 7/26.
Registering your child must be done before the first day of school.
School Pictures
The picture that will be taken at Registration will also be for their student ID cards that are to be worn everyday while on campus. These ID cards will have a barcode that is used in the cafeteria and library. The picture will also be included in the yearbook at the end of the school year. Please make sure your student attends registration.
Student Payment Information
Below is a list of the registration fees that will be collected at registration. You can pay by cash, check, or credit card.
This is a great time to purchase a yearbook, as the cost increases to $48.00 after August 31, 2023. The cut-off date for ordering is January 13th and no extra yearbooks are ordered.
If your student is an 8th grader this year, there is a promotion donation that will be due no later than May 5th. This donation includes: a trip to Six Flags, including transportation and lunch, 8th grade luncheon, Awards, Dance and Promotion Ceremony.
Importance of Library Donations
We have had great success with our Library Donations in the past years at Excelsior. We will use the donated funds to pay for our Library clerk, purchase new books, and to obtain online resources for our students. Any donation is greatly appreciated to continue this valuable resource for students. Donations will be accepted at walk-thru and anytime through-out the school year. Thank You!
Medical Information
All students entering the 7th grade must show proof of having had the TDap booster shot PRIOR to registration. This requirement will help protect your child and others in your school community from whooping cough. There is NO EXCEPTION. If you are an incoming 6th grader, it is never too early to turn in your TDap vaccination as it will be needed before 7th grade. Please bring it to the EMS office.
If your child is given an inhaler, medication, or is advised to take over the counter medication by their doctor, you will need to fill out a “medication to dispense” form. Please be aware that this form will need to be filled out by your health care provider before your child can use an inhaler or any other medication at school. This is in accordance to California Ed. Code 49423.
Community Service
Community Service is a wonderful way to contribute to your community. Excelsior encourages each student to participate in a minimum of 1 hour per semester they are in attendance. Please don’t wait until the last minute as these hours are due as well by May 5th. These forms can be found with your child’s TEAM teacher, but summer is a great time to work on these hours.
