Welcome to Mills Elementary. We're glad you're here!
Registration Process
Families can complete registration to their zoned campus or rank the campuses they would like to transfer to. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received, and seats are offered on a rolling basis. Students waitlisted during Priority Registration may be offered seats if applicants from the first round do not accept their seat. Pre-K applications submitted during the Priority Round may now be processed. If you registered during the Priority Round and received a seat assignment, you do NOT need to register again in the General Round unless you wish to apply to a different school.

- Develops children physically, socially, intellectually, and emotionally.
At the request of the campus, you must provide the required documents listed on this form in order for us to determine eligibility for tuition free Pre-K enrollment. Documentation will be collected when your application is being processed.
Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE)
Mill Elementary also offers Early Childhood Special Education for young children with disabilities, ages three to five. It is a great way to help your child learn and prepare for school, giving your child a range of services to support their unique educational needs.
There are two common paths for a child to get into ECSE:
- If your child is not involved with the Early Childhood Intervention Program, you can ask your child’s school district to do an evaluation. Your child must be approved to be a part of ECSE.
- If your child gets ECI services, ECI transition planning should connect your family with our team at Mills.
