Complete SY24-25 Enrollment for Your Child

We are proud to serve over 50,000 students and thrilled to launch School Year 2024-2025 (SY24-25) enrollment with your family. DCPS is excited to welcome new and returning students to our community!

Survey for Families: We encourage you to share feedback regarding the online enrollment platform by taking this brief survey. The survey is available in English and Spanish. 

Please complete SY24-25 enrollment by following three steps: 

1. Complete the DCPS enrollment packet using online enrollment or paper forms.
   • Families New to DCPS will click “Request Aspen Account” to create a new account and begin enrolling their student(s).  
   • Families Returning to DCPS will login to the platform using their Parent Portal credentials. If you do not know your Parent Portal credentials or need to update your email address, please contact your school. A valid email address is required to use online enrollment.
2. Gather and attach supporting documents.
3. Submit the packet and supporting documents to your student's school enrollment team.

If you have not already submitted your child's immunization records to your school:

1. Make an appointment with your child’s doctor. DC offers resources to help you find a health provider if you do not have health insurance. 
2. Have the doctor complete DC’s Universal Health Certificate, available here. Your health provider may also provide a different proof of immunization document or an exemption explanation. 
3. Submit your immunization paperwork to your child’s school. You can drop it off at your school or call the school’s main office if you have questions about how to submit your form. 

Additional Support:

• Contact your school if you need help completing the electronic enrollment packet or if you cannot access the electronic submission process.
• Please refer to our Enrollment Policies. Still have a question? Contact us.
