• 2023-24 School Year

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

    Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!

    PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE:

    Dear Malibu High Students and Families,

    Malibu High welcomes YOU to the 2023-2024 school year! Students, it is almost time to get ready as school starts on Thursday, August 24th, at 8:30am.  Enjoy these final weeks of summer while getting excited to begin a wonderful new school year. We are looking forward to an exciting and productive year!

    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. 

    High school GYSD is on Thursday, August 17th, from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.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. 

    It is an exciting time at Malibu High.  In addition to having a highly dedicated and professional staff and faculty, MHS is also fortunate to have an engaged and supportive parent community. Thanks in large part to our various parent organizations and their contributions, Malibu High School thrives and continues to provide the quality programs and resources that our children deserve to be well-rounded individuals.

    I look forward to supporting all of our students and families and celebrating lots of successes throughout the year. 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!

    Patrick Miller 

    Principal, Malibu High School

    COMPLETE IMPORTANT REGISTRATION/DATA CONFIRMATION PROCESS NOW:

    NEW PROCESS (2nd Year): Malibu High 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:

    SCHOOL PICTURES ORDER FORM/IDENTIFICATION CARD: Get Your Stuff Day is also School Picture Day!  All students, including seniors, 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 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 MHS, service times are:

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, is in grade 9-12 and does not have the TDaP immunization documented, 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 High 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.
