Order School Supplies for 2023-24 NOW!
Did you know that you can order school supplies from the PTA now and be all prepared for the 2023-24 school year? If you order online, through the PTA:
– the teacher gets the exact supplies they want,
– the teachers have time to organize the supplies before the students arrive,
– there are fewer issues in the classroom since the students will have all the same supplies,
– and you don’t have to do ANYTHING past clicking a few buttons!
The supplies will be shipped directly to Edison the week before school starts. Volunteers will deliver your students’ supply pack directly to their teacher! Edison makes about $3 a pack, which is not a lot, but it helps contribute to the PTA Fund. And yes, the supply list has been double-checked! To order supplies:

– Edison Code: EDI023
Prices (does not include tax)

Summer On-line Registration & Preparing for the 2-23-24 School year
Online Registration for the 2023-2024 school year will take place in July/August (Date TBD) for all families who did not complete the registration in May 2023. You must have a Parent Portal account to register online. If you need to open a Parent Portal account so you can do online registration, as well as have access to other important information about your student, go to myportal.dpsk12.org and click on ‘Create an Account’. You will need your student’s DPS ID# to start your account. You can call Edison’s office at 720-424-7780 or email Michelle Miller in the office at michelle_miller@dpsk12.org, or Barbara Schrant at maria_schrant@dpsk12.org, to get your student’s ID# after May 5. If you forgot your password click on the forgot password link. If you have any other trouble logging in (you must log in at least once every six months to keep your account active), you can ask for help by emailing portalteam@dpsk12.org or calling the portal hotline at 720.423.3163. Only the caregivers in the primary household can do registration.
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 8 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 are names and phone numbers for anyone you want to be on your child’s emergency/pick up list.
Additional information:
