Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.

We know Denver parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:

Tuesday, 5:30 AM

"You wake up to a snowstorm. Is it a 2-hour delay, a full closure, or a remote learning day? You have to wait for the Robo Call and check the DPS website to be sure."

Thursday, 8:00 PM

"You're trying to navigate the 'Round Robin Tournament' of the school enrollment process and need to find the deadline for school choice applications."

Monday, 7:30 AM

"You need to check your child's attendance in MyPortal, but you also want to confirm if this Friday is a teacher planning day with no school for students."

The reality: Checking PDFs and the DPS website repeatedly is exhausting. There's a better way...

Frequently Asked Questions about the 2025-26 DPS Calendar

New student registration is typically done online through the DPS website. You will need to provide proof of address, your child's birth certificate, and immunization records. Check the official DPS website for the most current procedures and required documents.
