It's course registration time! To help students and parents, we have created a Course Selection Nearpod on our website. Type in your name and click "join lesson" to get more detailed information about selecting courses for the 24-25 school year.

From January 23-30, current 5th-11th grade students will be able to register for their classes for the 24-25 school year in Infinite Campus. To view the list of cyber courses that will be available next year, please visit our website to view the programs of study for the DCA.

Please follow the process outlined below to register!

Current 5th-7th Graders

From 1/22-2/1, DASD 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students can register to take middle school classes in the DCA. Please visit our website to fill out a 24-25 Registration Form.

Current 8th-11th Graders

From 1/22-2/1, all 8th-11th graders should do the following to register for one or more DCA classes:

1. Log into Infinite Campus to select your courses. Courses ending in a "C" are cyber courses.
2. Visit our website and fill out a 24-25 Registration Form. This is an important step because some cyber courses are only available to full-time DCA students and cannot be selected in Infinite Campus.

Courses are staffed and selected to run based on the enrollment at the end of the course selection period, so it's extremely important that all interested students register at this time. Last year, we had a long waitlist for several classes because students registered late.

The DCA Student Council has been working to put on a fun event on Tuesday February 6th, 2024 at 5:30-7:30 PM. Please RSVP if you're planning to attend!

All course selectionsfor next year will be completed on-line through the Student Portal on Infinite Campus using the student login.

Please be reminded that the students will login to Infinite Campus using the single-sign on (SSO) with their network username and password. If students are unable to login to the Student Portal, they should submit a ticket through the DASD technology website.

Students must also complete the registration form found on the DCA website.

All DCA students are considered students in their home buildings even if they are full-time DCA. Please check your child's school below for upcoming events and activities in which they can participate!

If your child is in K-5, receives instruction from the Brandywine Virtual Academy (BVA) and wishes to return to their home school building, please follow the procedures outlined below:

1) Send and email to cyberacademy@dasd.org and complete the K-5 DCA/BVA Withdrawal Form 2023-2024.

2) An admin from the DCA will reach out to your child's home school building principal and the BVA admin to make a determination.

3) Once it has been determined that your child can return to the home school building, the building admin will reach out to you regarding information for the start date, the bus, classroom teacher, etc.

*All admin from the DCA, BVA, and Home School building should be included on correspondence.

Please visit our DCA website at dc.dasd.org for more information.
