We hope this message finds you safe, healthy and enjoying your summer. We hope everyone is getting excited for the new school year!
In order to help us be prepared for a positive educational experience this Fall, please support us by completing all of the information below in a timely manner.
Online Registration:
All guardians for new and returning students need to complete the online registration for each of their students for the 2022-2023 school year online in July/August and BEFORE the first day of school. You must have a Parent Portal account to register online.
* If you need to open a Parent Portal account, 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#.
* 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 parents 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 5 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.
