American Academy families with students (new and returning) who will be in grades K through 8 in the coming year must complete two registrations annually - AA Annual Registration in April and DCSD Express Check-In in July. These are required in order to secure your K-8 student's spot at American Academy for the coming school year. This is NOT the same as "Enrollment" for our new students, which takes place immediately following acceptance into American Academy. KindiePrep, our preschool program, is NOT included in these events and will have their own registration event.
#1: American Academy’s Annual K-8 "Registration" (April 17, 2025 - April 24, 2025)
- Navigate to https://aak8.schoolmint.com/.
- One parent for every new and returning AA family has an existing SchoolMint account. Be sure this is the account you are using. We strongly encourage families to enable both email and text notifications in order to receive time-sensitive, detailed information and links.
~ Returning families click on "Add Forms", confirm Student Information, and click on "Save and Continue" to complete your student's Annual Registration.
~ New families click on "Annual Registration" to complete your student's Annual Registration.
- Review school policies & expectations for all students and parents (new and returning).
Families will have one week from the opening of registration to submit information. If your student will no longer be attending American Academy, please let us know by emailing
[email protected] and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. Questions should be submitted using our
Contact an American Academy Registrar form.
#2: Douglas County School District's K-8 “Express Check-In” (July 17th - July 24th)
- Navigate to Express Check-In
- The login process for accessing the EngagED Parent Portal has recently changed. Parents/guardians must now add @p.dcsdk12.org after their current username when logging into the EngagED Parent Portal. You will pair your Infinite Campus Parent Portal username and @p.dcsdk12.org. For example, if your Infinite Campus username is jsmith, you will enter [email protected] as your email address on the login screen. Your password is the same one you use for accessing Infinite Campus. The Infinite Campus Parent Portal username and password have not changed. EngagED Parent Portal login is IC [email protected] and IC Parent Portal password.
- Update student Health Information (allergies, medications, conditions, etc.).
- Update student Media Limitations.
- Pay annual Student Fees (the MySchoolBucks application is used to make online payments for student fees).
- Review district-required information.
- To make changes to your student’s household and emergency contact information (address changes, emergency contact changes/additions), please submit your request using our Contact an American Academy Registrar form.
Deadlines for both K-8 registrations must be met by all families; failure to meet these deadlines may result in your child being unenrolled from American Academy and an offer extended to another child on our waitlist. In the event that your student is unenrolled, you will be required to add your student back to the American Academy waitlist to wait for a future opening at the school.
We are looking forward to seeing your family in the 2025-26 school year!
