We are excited to Welcome you to the Bronco Family! There are a few different scenarios which may bring your to Northgate, and each is listed below to assist you in the process. Please read below, and reach out to nhsregistrar@mdusd.org if you have any questions.
If you live in the Northgate attendance area, and your student attends an MDUSD school- your student will automatically be rolled into our system. No action needed at this time. Please see links above for course planning. These will be collected by the middle school for Foothill students, and can be emailed to cooperk@mdusd.org for non-Foothill students.
Course requests will be due January 30th.
If you live in the Northgate attendance area, but your student attends a private or non-MDUSD school, you will need to first register your student. If they have never attended an MDUSD school, you will begin at the district registration page. When that is completed, you will complete a paper packet and keep it ready to bring in with you for a registration appointment at the enrollment center. These appointments will begin March 8. Visit the webpage for more information.
If you are out of the Northgate attendance area, and do not live in the "unassigned area" (Clayton region), you will need to apply to the district for a transfer. The transfer period begins in October and ends in November. Check the website and apply there. Notifications going out to families in January. The district office handles all of these requests, please know that we do not have any control at the site level. Once you have been approved for a transfer, follow the applicable registration steps above.
If you are out of the Northgate attendance area, and in the "unassigned area" you must request placement at Northgate High School. This happens on the district website. Once you receive notification of placement at Northgate High School, follow the appropriate steps above. If you live in this area and attend Pine Hollow or Diablo View, you must request placement. Once you receive your letter from student services with placement, no further action is needed. Please submit your course requests as outlined above.
If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to our office.
