You will need your student’s DPS ID# to start your account. You can call Edison's office at 720-424-7780 or email Michelle Miller in the office at michelle_miller@dpsk12.org, or Barbara Schrant at maria_schrant@dpsk12.org, to get your student’s ID#.

Only caregivers in the primary household can do registration. If you do not have computer access you will need to come to Edison to complete your student’s annual registration. We’ll have registration at Edison on August 6 from 9:00-3:00. If your address has changed please bring a new proof of address (current Xcel or water bill or lease or mortgage statement)or upload the proof with your online registration, and if your child has had additional immunizations please bring an updated record or upload with online registration.
