Kindergarten Assessment Day: On Monday August 22nd, kindergarten teachers will work with your child one-on-one for a 15-minute period. During this time they will ask your child to try some pre-reading and math tasks. The main purpose of this testing is to help teachers know your child, so that they can plan instruction according to their needs. It is also VERY helpful for teachers, students and parents to become acquainted before the first day of school on Tuesday August 23rd! Teachers looking forward to meeting you all! PLEASE complete online verification (see below) for your child. Then, go to the web address below (copy and paste into address bar) for your child’s teacher to sign up for your assessment time period. Please use YOUR CHILD’S FIRST AND LAST NAME FOR ONE 15-MINUTE PERIOD.PLEASE BE ON TIME FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT AND TO PICK UP YOUR CHILD AT THE END. THANKS!!!

- Parents will access the tool through Parent Portal.
- If you do not have a Parent Portal account please go to: http://myportal.dpsk12.org and the “Getting Started” tab.
- Recommended browsers are Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0. Safari does not support OLV.

If you do not have computer access or your address has changed, you will need to come to Edison to complete your student’s registration/verification. We’ll have registration at Edison on August 11 from 9:00-3:00. If your
address has changed please bring a new proof of address (current Xcel or water bill or lease or mortgage statement), and if your child has had additional immunizations please bring an updated record. Otherwise all you’ll need is names and phone numbers for anyone you want to be on your child’s emergency/pick up list.
There are a few things that are unable to be changed/updated through Parent Portal registration. For the following you will need to come to Edison’s registration (but you can still complete the actual verification online to save yourself time while you’re here):
- If you need to change emergency contact information, you will need to complete a new emergency contact form in Edison’s office during registration.
- If your student needs to keep medication at school you will need to pick up a new form to be filled out by a parent and physician. These will be available at registration as well as in the office throughout the school year.
- If you need a transportation exception form,you will need to complete this during registration at Edison.
- If you need a Free/Reduced Lunch form, you will need to complete this during registration at Edison. This will be available throughout the school year as well.
School supply lists and DPS school calendars are available online.

Mrs. Whitelock will give a brief welcome to all families around 5:40 and then families can visit their student’s classroom from 6:00-6:30 and again from 6:30-7:00 if they have more than one child.
