What is my child's login information?

The district has updated the format of student passwords to provide safe, secure access to online learning tools and devices for our staff and students. We are retiring the old student password format and moving to PowerSchool-generated, randomized passwords to keep your child safer online. 

Your student’s unique username (studentnumber@thedps.org) has not changed. Your student will still use his/her username and password to access district email, Microsoft Office, Clever, Edgenuity, and/or other district applications.

If your student forgets or loses his or her password, passwords can be recovered or reset by contacting the school directly. Teachers and building administrators can also reset passwords for students if a password is compromised.

What is the discipline expectation for students during Summer Learning?

Disciplinary Reports are required for summer learning. The same offense and violation codes should be used for summer school, as are used during the regular school year.  Students who display egregious behavior during Summer School will be withdrawn.
