Students will need to bring their Chromebooks - to school for daily use. We will NOT have extras in the classroom for students to use so it is IMPERATIVE they remember to charge and bring each day.

It is recommended that families purchase insurance for their student's Chromebooks. The cost is $22.95 https://securranty.com/mdusd here is a link to purchase insurance.

MDUSD requires all parents/guardians of incoming 6th Grade students to provide, in person, three (3) forms of documentation to verify residency within their home school residential area. Intra-district Transfers also need to provide proof of residency. This is required EVEN if you have a student already enrolled at Foothill.

Proof of Residency occurs at first enrollment and again for 6th Grade & 9th Grade. This link has a chart of what is needed to complete this process.

If your student will NOT be attending Foothill this fall, please let us know. Please email wheelerb@mdusd.org with any questions. (925) 939-8600
