The enrollment and/or registration process for Back Bay and Monte Vista is a little different than that of other schools. Students must be referred by their home school or by Ms. Bishai at Student Services. Students currently attending a school in the Newport-Mesa district should see their counselor or an assitant principal at the school to ask for a referral to BB or MV. Students from out of our district must call Ms. Tayyar at (714) 424-8911 to request an appointment with Ms. Bishai, who will provide them with a referral. Not sure?

it is to recognize each other,
