Full Steam Ahead
Our theme for the 2023-24 School Year at Mayfair are three simple words: "FULL STEAM AHEAD!" As we move into the new building, a new energy is gaining momentum. We are so thrilled about the new facility and its impact on the education of our Monsoons! Our focus will be moving beyond the struggles of the last few years Post-Covid and we look to a fresh start and truly focus our Monsoons on their futures with the support of a great teaching staff, a state of the art new facility and a focus on moving forward!

2023-24 BELL SCHEDULE
The Bell Schedule Overview answers many questions about the bell schedule, but we cannot anticipate them all. We will utilize the form below to receive feedback and look to answer those FAQs in the upcoming editions of The Forecast. Our Bell Schedule Committee is continuing to meet this year and will take input from our community as we seek to create the BEST schedule for our students moving forward. We know, from experience and from our colleagues at Bellflower Middle/High School that adjustments were made to their bell schedule after implementation. We will utilize data and student performance indicators to drive all decisions on this campus. We thank you in advance for your support and patience with this "change process."
DATA CONFIRMATION (IS STILL OPEN)
Data Confirmation (Opens July 21st)
“Data Confirmation” is an important part of Mayfair’s online registration using AERIES Parent Portal. You can access the parent portal at https://parentportal.busd.k12.ca.us, click on “Data Confirmation” for each student. You will be asked a series of questions to verify and authorize your information. It is EXTREMELY important to make sure we have the appropriate contact information - especially for emergency situations, such as school closures. If you do not have a parent portal account, please follow instructions on how to set-up your account by going to this link, https://tinyurl.com/28x7e6kp.

PARKING AND DROP-OFF
We have gained a significant amount of parking this year with the addition of the new building.
The southern lot (closest to Arabella) is the new driveway with access to STAFF Parking in the gated area. Very shortly, access to the campus will no longer be available from Arabella Street)
All students may enter the campus at the start of the day through one of two locations:
- Front Gate
- 100 Gate (Northwest Corner of Campus)
Students leaving or entering campus at any other time of the school day must use the FRONT GATE and check out properly. Students are required to show either Digital ID (Minga) or School Issued ID to exit or enter campus.
