Online Verification and Back to School information

?Online Verification for the 2016-2017 school year is now open and will continue until August 15 at 5:00. You must have a Parent Portal account to register/verify online. Below are some important reminders to help you during this process!

  • 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.
  • Remember that Parent Portal can be accessed through phones and tablets, however, Online Verification (OLV) is NOT ACCESSIBLE through phones and tablets. Please use your desktop/laptop computers.
  • Only a Parent/Guardian in the Primary Household of IC can initiate and complete OLV.
  • Only this parent’s Parent Portal login must be used to complete the OLV process.

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.
All kindergarten students will need to sign up for an individual assessment on August 22. Kinder families will get an email with information on how to sign up for an assessment online, and can do so after getting their student’s teacher’s name during online registration.

Back-to-school night will be Thursday, August 18 at 5:00 PM. Please bring a picnic dinner for your family to eat on the field starting at 5:00 and visit with other Edison families. 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.

The first day of school for ECE and 1st-5th grade students will be Monday, August 22.

Due to assessments on August 22, kinder students will have their first day of class on August 23.

See you all soon!

Sally Whitelock, Principal
