2023 Summer Program Registration Opens March 1st!

Dedham Public Schools are excited to announce that our 2023 Summer LEAP Enrichment options will be open for registration on March 1, 2023.  

You can find information about all the programs available this summer for students entering grades K-6 - including JumpStart, Avery Institute & TREK at:  www.dedham.k12.ma.us/leapsummer 


NEW THIS YEAR:  Online Registration!

Registration for our summer programs will be done online this year.  In order to register students for summer programming, families must log-in to their PowerSchool account.

WHAT IS POWERSCHOOL? 

PowerSchool is an online portal that parents/guardians can log in to and find all of their student(s) information in one place.   Dedham Public Schools uses this system to track all key student information.  

DO I HAVE A POWERSCHOOL ACCOUNT?

Every family should have a PowerSchool account with DPS.  If you didn’t create it yourself at registration, we created one for you.   You will find tips for logging in below.


 

I’M LOGGED INTO POWERSCHOOL - WHERE DO I REGISTER?

Summer Registration will be located under:  Forms 

The Summer Registration forms will be posted at 12:00pm  on March 1, 2023.


 

 ADVANTAGES TO ONLINE REGISTRATION:

  • Registration information will be linked to your student’s information currently on file with DPS -  No more filling out lines of basic student information.
  • Courses will be closed when capacity is filled, so you know immediately if there is space available.
  • Payment via Credit Card or eCheck can be completed immediately at the end of the registration process, no need to link out to other sites or send cash/check.  (Alternative cash/check payment options will still be available if preferred.)
  • There’s an App for that!  PowerSchool forms can be accessed online via computer - or by the PowerSchool App downloaded from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store


HELPFUL HINTS TO USING POWERSCHOOL:

  • What is my username and password?     If you don’t remember, click the link “Forgot Username or Password”
    • You will be prompted to enter your email address.   This is most likely, but not always, the email address you are using to read this notice.
    • A recovery link will be sent by “PowerSchool Dedham” to reset your access.    (Check your SPAM folder if you don’t seen an email within 15 minutes)
    • Remember your new Username and Password!   You will find us using PowerSchool Forms more frequently in the future.
