What is the parent portal and how does it work?

The portal provides families more insight into what occurs in the classroom, helping them become better equipped to support their child’s strengths and areas of growth. Your initial log-in information for the Parent Portal will come via email.

How do I choose a password for the DA parent portal?

One trick for choosing a good password involves thinking of a phrase such as "Go to the DA Parent Portal!" and then using an abbreviation for the first letter of each word, like this: G2tDAPP. Where can I report problems or ask additional questions?

Where can I see other school events on the parent portal?

The five-day calendar at the top of the portal shows events specific to your household. You can see other school events by clicking the green calendar link on the Parent Portal homepage. Athletic calendars are kept on the www.da.org website to allow access for people outside the DA community.
