Chalkboard graphic reading Registration Information

Hello Skinner Families,

We are approaching the new school year quickly and online registration for the 2025-26 school year is now open. There are three steps primary legal guardians will need to complete registration at Skinner Middle School; Online Registration through Parent Portal, the You Benefit! form, Skinner’s Parent and Family agreement form. See below for more detailed instructions. All Skinner families need to have registration completed by August 13, 2025.

Skinner will invoice each family a $150 registration fee ($40 for free-reduced lunch status) per student starting in October. This fee will cover school supplies to your student(s). The fee can be paid online through MySchoolBucks. We encourage all guardians to sign up for MySchoolBucks through the Parent Portal. This gives guardians the ability to pay for registration fees, and school lunches on-line with a credit card. Contact Skinner Main Office to submit free-reduced lunch documentation. 

Please Note: If you participated in Early Bird Online Registration this past spring, you will still need to complete a You Benefit! form, AND the Parent/Family Agreement to complete registration for Skinner. 

If your child does not plan on attending Skinner, please email Skinner Main Office Support Lyzbe_Paz@dpsk12.net or maria_naves@dpsk12.net.

STEPS TO REGISTER

Step 1: Online Registration

Only primary legal guardians can complete the online registration for new and returning students. You must have a Parent Portal account to register online.

  • If you need to open a Parent Portal account, go to myportal.dpsk12.org and click on ‘Create an Account’. You will need your student’s DPS ID # to start your account. You can call Skinner’s Main office at 720-424-1420 to get your student’s ID #.
  •  If you forgot your username or password click on the forgot username/forgot password link.

Step 2: You Benefit! form – ALL FAMILIES MUST TAKE ACTION

All families need to complete a You Benefit! form (formally the Free or Reduced Fees/Lunch application) for the 2025-2026 school year.  

  • Only one form is required for all children in the household. 
  • By completing the form, you will help us access all available funds to cover the cost of meals, and other nutritional programs for students.
  • Families who fill out the You Benefit! form may qualify to receive discounted school fees, class materials, bus passes, utilities support and more.

Once the application is completed, make sure to save the email for future reference. If you feel your family doesn’t qualify, we ask for families to log in and OPT-OUT of the form.  

Step 3: Complete Parent/Family Agreement  

Failure to submit this form does not exempt your student from Skinner Middle School policies and interventions. Continued enrollment at Skinner Middle School constitutes agreement with the above policies and interventions.”
