Re-Enrollment has BEGUN!

Reserve Your Spot at DPA!

Dear DPA Families,

Enrollment season is officially open, and it’s time to re-enroll your scholar for the 2026–2027 school year! We’ve made a few minor updates to the process this year to make things smoother for families.

To begin the Re-Enrollment process, please complete the Enrollment Survey linked here ENROLLMENT SURVEY

Once the survey is completed for each of your scholars, you will receive the DCRV and enrollment forms via DocuSign. After submitting your completed DocuSign forms, a member of our team will contact you to collect proof of residency if needed.

To ensure your scholar is ready for the first day of school, all re-enrollment paperwork must be submitted by June, 1st 2026. Please note: Scholars who are not fully enrolled by this date will be placed on the waitlist for next school year.

If you have any questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Enroll@digitalpioneersacademy.org.

Thank you for being a part of the DPA community!
