Registration Paperwork
K - 8 and Base Students (Elementary, Middle School and High School)
State Law requires all Online students to complete an Online Affidavit Form (POR) and is required each year in order to continue enrollment at eDCSD. The form must be dated on or after July 1, 2024. This form will be emailed to you this week and will need to be filled out and email it back by Thursday, September 5, 2024 to our registrar Deborah Dees - ddees@dcsdk12.org.
If you have already filled out the form after July 1, 2024, thank you.
Summit Students High School
A Registration packet will be emailed to you this week and will include the Online Affidavit Form (POR). Please fill it out in its entirety and email back to our registrar, Deborah Dees - ddees@dcsdk12.org, by Thursday, September 5, 2024.
Attendance Update
Due to a change in the district's attendance messaging system, the automated attendance calls have not been sending. Please make sure you are logging into Infinite Campus to check student attendance. As a reminder, at eDCSD, we only take attendance once a week for the whole week, Wednesday - Tuesday. If a student shows an absence in a class, this means the student did not complete any work the whole previous week, equaling 5 days of class.
