• 2023-2024 School Year

    REGISTRATION/DATA CONFIRMATION is now available to complete in AERIES Parent Portal.

    PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE:

    Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year! Malibu Middle School welcomes YOU to the 2023-2024 school year! Students, it is almost time to get ready as school starts on Thursday, August 24th, at 8:40am.  An announcement regarding the hiring of a new Malibu Middle School principal is anticipated at the August 3rd school board meeting.

    We ask that you log-in to your Aeries Parent Portal and complete the 2023-2024 Data Confirmation process as soon as possible.  It contains information and forms that need to be submitted prior to Get Your Stuff Day. 

    Middle school GYSD is on Thursday, August 17th, from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. GYSD is your opportunity to get your stuff (ie: school picture, school ID, schedule, PE clothes, parking permit) so you are prepared for the first days of school. 

    If, for any reason, your child will NOT be attending Malibu High School, please email Beth Soloway, Registrar, at bsoloway@smmusd.org immediately so we can plan our class configurations and placements accurately.  Have a wonderful last few weeks of summer!

    COMPLETE IMPORTANT REGISTRATION/DATA CONFIRMATION PROCESS NOW:

    NEW PROCESS (2nd Year): Malibu Middle School and SMMUSD have worked to make the Data Confirmation process easy for you and your student through Aeries Parent Portal in place of our previous process. We have many important documents and plenty of information for your family within the online registration site, accessed via your Aeries Parent Portal. Note: You must complete data confirmation for each student.

    ACTION NEEDED: Log in to your aeries parent portal. It is very important that you complete the annual Back to School/Registration process anytime between now and August 16, 2023!  Please be sure to read, review, and discuss all the materials with your student. We also need to gather information from you for emergency contacts and health documents. You may decide to print some of the documents for future reference.  For a tutorial on how to complete this process, please click HERE.

    GET YOUR STUFF DAY IS AUG. 17TH:

    ASB STUDENT STORE:  Visit the ASB Student Store to purchase PE Clothing.  Bypass a line at GYSD and purchase your items online.  Orders placed online can be picked up at the Student Store, no waiting in line!

    SCHOOL PICTURES ORDER FORM/IDENTIFICATION CARD: Get Your Stuff Day is also School Picture Day!  All students must have their picture taken for the yearbook and for an identification card.  Students/families also have to option to purchase a school picture package from our new photographer, Lifetouch. More info on how to order pictures will be sent directly by Lifetouch.

    NUTRITION SERVICES: New meal applications need to be completed annually (one per family). We ask all families to complete this application regardless of plans to eat school meals or income level.  For more information, visit: https://www.smmusd.org/Page/4083.  Meals will continue to served, at no cost to any student for the 23-24 school year.  For MMS, service times are:

    TRANSPORTATION/BUS PASSES: Renewing riders should have received a renewal application in the mail from the District Office. District staff will be at Malibu Middle School for GYSD to take your application and payment. Applications for new riders and bus information is available online and will be available at GYSD. There are a limited number of passes that will be sold for some bus routes. Passes will be sold on a first come, first serve basis.  To learn more, click HERE.

    UNOFFICIAL CLASS SCHEDULES: During GYSD, students can pick up their unofficial 2023-2024 class schedule.  This is an unofficial schedule that is subject to change before the start of school. Students’ parents must complete the Data Confirmation process before students receive their draft schedule.

    SCHEDULE NOT AVAILABLE: There are a few reasons why a student may not receive a schedule at Get Your Stuff Day. The student may owe books or financial obligations from last year, is a new student who has not yet met with his or her counselor, or is an Independent Study Program (ISP) student who will work with the ISP teacher to develop a schedule. We ask all students to immediately return or pay for all library and textbooks belonging to Malibu Middle as we must have them for the start of the school year. If you need a current immunization, please take care of this and come to school with your documentation on or before Get Your Stuff Day.
