Dublin City Schools believes that reading is a key to success in all areas. While middle and high school students have required reading, all students are encouraged to read all summer long. Grade level assignments and other resources can be found on the district's website.

Before the start of each school year, families must complete the Annual Update. Items that can be confirmed or changed as part of the Annual Update include street address, phone number, email, and emergency contacts. Parents will also acknowledge our district handbooks, student code of conduct, and technology/network use agreements during the Annual Update process.

STEPS
To access the Annual Update, please follow steps 1-7 below.

1. Log-in to Infinite Campus Parent Portal

2. Click “More” in the Main Menu or “Annual Update” under district announcements

3. Select “Online Registration Update”

4. Click “24-25 (Current School Year) Existing Student Registration.” Please make sure you select Existing Student Registration, not New Student.

THINGS TO NOTE

Thank you for completing this very important back-to-school process. The information gathered as part of the Annual Update supports the efficient operation of our district and is critical regarding our ability to communicate with parents in the event of an emergency.
