John Muir Middle School has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years. Unfortunately, we have now reached capacity. After much deliberation, the Burbank Unified School District has determined that we will not be allowing new enrollments at Muir for the ‘23-‘24 school year.
Capping a school is an extremely difficult decision, but sometimes it becomes necessary. We completely understand how disruptive and difficult this is for parents who expected to have their children enroll at Muir. These decisions are based on the capacity of our schools, staffing, and pathways.
The capping of Muir will be reviewed on an ongoing basis. We will return capped students to Muir as soon as there is space. Students who are capped from Muir will be placed on a waiting list based on the date and time of enrollment and that list will be maintained until a student is returned to Muir. We will call families if a space opens up. If you have enrollment questions, please contact Mary Brooks at marybrooks@burbankusd.org or 818 / 729-3800, ext. 22890
All three middle schools in Burbank are great learning environments for students and we know that students will be successful in any BUSD school.

March 11, 2024
Posted by Connie Nassios on 3/11/2024Good evening, this is Dr. Miller, principal at John Muir Middle School with this week’s update.
Our PTSA will host their monthly meeting tomorrow evening at 7 and the John Muir Fundraising Committee will meet Thursday at 2 and all are welcome to attend.
On Thursday evening from 6:30 to 8, we will host Open House. Your child should be bringing home an Open House flyer. Please be sure to have your child fill out their schedule on the flyer so you know which classrooms to visit.
The PTSA Scholastic Book Fair will be open all week in room 603 at lunch, after school, and during Open House. This is a great time for students to get books that they can read during Spring Break. Teacher wish lists will be also displayed at the book fair during Open House. If you cannot stop by, you can always shop online by using the link in the email.
ASB is pre-selling 8th grade t-shirts and hoodies through this Friday. Hoodies are $30 and t-shirts are $15 and can be bought at school or online using the link in the email.
On Friday, all 7th grade students will be on a field trip to the California Science Center.
Finally, all students will be dismissed at 2pm on Friday and Muir will be closed next week for Spring Break and we will reopen on Monday, March 25th.
Thank you and have a great week.

The Burbank Unified School District officially denounces racism as the product of white default/ supremacy culture and recognizes the impact of systemic and generational racism as traumatic to our country, community, and school district. In light of continuing racial violence, including the killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Andres Guardado, Dijon Kizzee, and many others, we also recognize that Black people in this country have had a unique and traumatic history in terms of racial relations, equality, and equity. We stand with the truthful and humane statement that all lives cannot matter until Black lives and the lives of indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) matter. We are taking steps to actively work towards being fully anti-racist, not only in word, but also in policy, practice, and accountability. Change is rarely easy, but with the support and cooperation of the entire Burbank school community we know that we will reflect a district that is truly unified.
