Current Cory Families,
We will NOT have an in-person registration for the 2016/17 school year. All registration will take place on-line through our on-line verification process through your Parent Portal Account. Simply log-in to your account and follow the instructions for on-line verification. Below are resources and FAQ’s if you have any difficulties. We will see everyone on Friday, August 19th for “Meet the Teacher” (more information will be posted on our calendar soon!).
DON’T HAVE A PARENT PORTAL ACCOUNT?
If you have not already set up a Parent Portal account, please visit myportal.dpsk12.org and click on “Getting Started”. You will need an email address and one of your student’s ID#s. There are no more wait times for an account; you can NOW create your own account!

Online Verification – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 2016-2017
General / Navigation
Q1 – Can I submit an online verification for only one of my three kids and complete the other on paper since I have to go to their schools anyways?
A1 – Unfortunately, no. The online verification process is based on your household and therefore requires you to submit the online form for all students in your household together. If you have already submitted a paper form for one of you students, you can still complete online verification but you will again have to verify the student you completed on paper.
Q2 – Why aren’t all of my students listed within the Online tool?
A2 – The missing student(s) are not listed in your household, you are not set up as a Guardian them or they do not have an active enrollment. Please contact your school or the Office of Choice and Enrollment at 720-423-3493 to correct.
Q3 – Can I save and finish later or do I have to finish the full application at one time?
A3 – You can Save and Return Later at any time in the process. All online applications must be submitted by the time the window closes.
Q4 – Can I get a copy of my submission?
A4 – All Parents/Guardians have access to their Verification Summary at the end of the OLV process and are encouraged to save, print, or email it to themselves for their records. If they do not have this, anyone with Staff Processing capabilities can access the summary and email or print it for the Parent/Guardian.
Q5 – What is Kaleidoscope Corner?
A5 – Kaleidoscope Corner is a before and after school care program offered at some Elementary and K-8 DPS schools for grades K-5. Parents/guardians can register for this program by submitting a paper application which can be located at the following website: http://kaleidoscope.dpsk12.org/register/
Q6 – If I save and return later, do I have to start at the beginning each time including providing my electronic signature each time?
A6 – No, the electronic signature screen only presents itself the first time through and the tool will open back up to tab that the Parent/Guardian left of at to make it easy to pick up where the user left off.
Q7 – Is any value accepted as the Electronic Signature?
A7 – No, the Electronic Signature field is authenticated against the logged in user name and must match.
Q8 – In what languages is the online tool available?
A8 – OLV is available in both English and Español at this time.
Update / Reset
Q9 – I just realized that I forgot to indicate one of my child’s medications on my online verification form? Can I update it?
A9 – As long as your application has not yet been approved, the School Secretary or anyone with Staff Processing rights can Unsubmit the application which will allow you to update any of the data on your application and re-submit. If the application has already been approved, you will need to provide the information to your student’s school Secretary to update within IC.
Q10 – I started my household’s verification, but am unable to complete it and need my husband to. Is there any way to restart the verification so that someone else can complete it?
A10 – Yes. As long as your application has not yet been approved, the School Secretary or anyone with Staff Processing rights can Delete the application so that it can be re-started by any other Parent/Guardian in the student’s primary household with a Parent Portal account.
Data Changes
Q11 – Can I change my address within the tool?
A11 – You can indicate that both your Household and Mailing addresses are no longer current but you cannot actually enter in your new address in the tool. Proof of Address needs to be brought into a school and then a School Secretary will update IC.
Q12 – Can Emergency Contacts be added in the tool?
A12 – No, no new people – Students, Parents/Guardians, Emergency Contacts, etc. – can be added through the tool at this time. The addition of all new people has to be facilitated through the School Secretary.
Parent Access
Q13 – Why do I have to go from the DPS Parent Portal through the IC Portal to get to OLV?
A13 – OLV is an IC tool and IC authenticates users through the IC Portal. Providing an Inbox message is how IC announces the Verification tool’s availability to those it applies to as well as how it provides access to the tool.
Q14 – What if I accidentally deleted the Inbox message and I still need to access OLV?
A14 – A script runs at the top of the hour that will replace this link for anyone applicable and add it to those who are just now applicable based on census changes within IC. Census changes can also cause the Inbox message to be removed.
Q15 – Can any Parent/Guardian access OLV and complete an online verification?
A15 – No, only Parent/Guardians in Primary Households will even have the link in the Inbox to OLV. Even if someone is marked as a Guardian, if they are in a Secondary Household, they cannot access OLV and complete an online verification.
