- Registration can be done online or through the school in the fall. We recommend registering online because it is convenient and saves time. Families can complete online registration either in the spring during the Early Bird window or starting at the end of July. Check with your school to confirm their online registration dates.
- To register online, sign in to Parent Portal, click on “See All Apps”, then click on “Online Registration” to verify or update your student’s information. Online registration can only be completed by the parent/guardian listed in the primary household of the student record.

Per DPS, End-of-Year Device Return
ALL students must return their Chromebooks and chargers for schools to be stored over the summer. There are NO exceptions to students keeping Chromebooks and chargers over the summer. This will help schools best prepare to have devices ready for the start of the next school year.
