  • Mirman School Email Support


    Mirman School and the PSL utilize a service called MailChimp to manage and send community-wide emails and newsletters. While we will be notified if an email "bounces" back due to an incorrect address or typo, and we can see if an email has been opened and which links within the email were clicked, we cannot verify that an unopened email made it to your Inbox.

    Most families will never experience a problem with their email. You can expect to see one weekly email regardless of your grade affiliation: the Mirman Minutes on Fridays. You'll also on occasion receive the Parent Service League's Mustang Gazette on Sundays. Please email the Advancement Communications Coordinator if you do not receive the newsletters.
    To help improve email reliability, we ask families to take a few small steps:
    • Add the following email addresses to your contact list/address book/allowed list group:
      info@mirman.org
      newsletter@mirman.org
      mkheel@mirman.org
      jcurry@mirman.org
      rcunningham@mirman.org
      sleung@mirman.org
      jsalcido@mirman.org
      jgalarza@mirman.org
    • Check your spam folder each week during the school year. If you do find a Mirman email in your spam folder, make sure to move that email back to your Inbox. Refer to your email settings or help section to learn how to manage your spam folder. By telling your email client that a Mirman email is OK, you will help improve deliverability of future Mirman emails.
    • For private, corporate, or university/college email domains, you may need to take the extra step of whitelisting MailChimp’s IP addresses. This is normally not necessary, but it’s a good step to take if you are experiencing problems receiving emails. Refer your IT or email manager to this website: http://mailchimp.com/about/ips/

Policies & Required Documents

List of 5 items.

  • Uniform Policies & Dress Code

    Mirman recognizes the value of school uniforms, as well as the value of individual expression as students progress from early childhood to early adolescence. Safely expressing one’s identity is crucial to building a positive and meaningful educational environment. At the same time, as a school community, Mirman also values the expression of a unified collective identity that speaks to both the mission and philosophy of the institution. To honor both individual and collective expression, the School’s dress code is designed to provide inclusion, routines, togetherness, and community, all the while encouraging a safe and positive learning environment. All students are expected to wear school uniforms every day; general guidelines are provided below, though they are not prescriptive nor comprehensive. Division Heads reserve the right to define when a student’s dress code is unsafe or does not follow School guidelines.

Guest shoppers can easily search for Mirman School’s portal by following the on-screen instructions. Specify whether your child is in Lower School or Upper School. Please be sure to clearly label your child’s name on all uniform items so that they can be found once placed in the Lost and Found.

  • Student Health Information

    Mirman utilizes Magnus Health SMR to maintain student immunizations, allergies and other related health information. Magnus is a widely used and well-regarded platform, and there are many benefits to their service, including less paperwork for families to complete each year and having more accurate information that is accessible to families and the appropriate employees at our school.

    As this is a secure web-based system, you will have continuous access to your child’s health records, as well as the ability to make updates when needed. You will also have the option to take the digital health file with you after your child graduates. Please take a moment to review Magnus’ Security and Privacy Policy, and if you have any questions, please direct them to School Registrar Jessica Curry.

  • Tech/Laptops Policies

    Students will be provided with technology (an Apple laptop or Apple iPad), software, and user licenses , a power adapter and cord, a protective laptop case, and other miscellaneous items (“Technology”) included as part of Flexible Tuition at no additional charge. Mirman retains sole right of possession of the Technology and grants permission to students to use the Technology according to guidelines set forth herein. Under no circumstances will ownership of the Technology transfer to a student or to the family.  Mirman retains the right to collect and/or inspect the Technology at any time, including via electronic remote access, and to alter, add, or delete installed software or hardware. In addition, students, families, or caregivers are not permitted to perform repairs on any devices.

  • Teacher Emails

  • Ordering Lunch

    Families are asked to provide their child with a nut-free snack and refillable water bottle for use throughout the school day. Filtered, cold drinking water is available at our multiple refillable water stations around campus. For maximum hygiene and safety, water fountains will remain off, so sending a water bottle is crucial.
    Families have the option of ordering a prepared lunch provided through LA Lunch Lady or bringing their own lunch from home. Lunch boxes or disposable bags must be labeled with your child’s name and fit back into their backpack after lunch.
    • Menu selections, prices, and the pre-paid online ordering system are available at www.lalunchlady.com.
    • All lunches will be individually packaged and delivered to either your child’s classroom or designated lunch area.
    • Normally, orders may be placed until 11:59 p.m. for the following day, and can be cancelled via email the same day by 7:30 a.m. for full refund.
    • A subscription plan that offer discounted pricing is available per semester.
    Please contact LA Lunch Lady directly with any questions regarding the Hot Lunch program via email to service@lalunchlady.com.

    We ask that your child’s lunch be ordered in a timely fashion as the vendor does not accept cash walk-up orders. In the unfortunate event that a student does not have a lunch, one will be provided by LA Lunch Lady and the family will be billed directly with an additional fee of $4 per meal. This accommodation will be extended in cases of periodic occurrence, but lunch orders should routinely be placed online in advance.

  • Bus Transportation

    Please contact bus@mirman.org with any questions regarding our schedule or safety protocols.

    Mirman School contracts with Mission School Transportation to provide convenient and safe bus service. Information about bus service each year is made available in the summer, but students may sign up at any time during the school year (if seats are available) by contacting bus@mirman.org.

    Mirman School uses the third-party software School Pass to ensure the safety and whereabouts of its students. Parents are required to use School Pass to make any changes to a child’s scheduled mode of transportation, location, time of pickup, and time of drop-off for their child. Afternoon changes to the bus must be entered in School Pass by 2 p.m. daily. The School will not accept phone calls or emails to make changes except in an emergency.
