Welcome to Seattle MESA!  Your Teacher or MESA Staff will give you an AIF (Admission Information Form)  please fill it out and have your parent/guardian sign it, and then returned it to the MESA Teacher. We use the information in this form to better serve our students and their families. By tracking our students throughout the year, we can measure our programs’ impact on your progress.
