From the Principal
Please see the information about new student registration below. This is for new to Mott students only. If your child currently attends Mott, he/she is pre-registered for Mott or Carpenter, depending on where you live, for the 2021-2022 school year. You do not need to do anything regarding registration at this time.
However, we could use your help! Registering for next school year now helps us plan for staffing and creating master schedules. If you have new neighbors, they may not know this. Please let them know that registration begins April 15th. Registration for Carpenter Elementary takes place at Weiss High School.
Stay safe!
