An Introduction from our Learning Coach, Mrs. Penzenstadler

My name is Laurie Penzenstadler, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your new Learning Coach for eDCSD. As we prepare to begin the 25-26 academic year, I wanted to reach out and welcome you to what I know will be an exciting and successful journey.


I am looking forward to getting to know each of you and learning about your academic goals and interests. Please feel free to reach out to me via email at ljpenzenstadler@dcsdk12.org or stop by in person if you have any questions or just want to say hello.

Due Date Policy 2025 - 2026

At eDCSD, our goal is to help students develop healthy work habits and time management skills.

Work each week will be assigned on Wednesday morning and will be due the following Tuesday night at 11:59 PM.


Students will be able to submit the work for an additional two weeks after the Tuesday night deadline. After an assignment has been open for 3 weeks, the assignment will close and will no longer be available for submission.


We hope that this policy helps to encourage students to work synchronously with the class while still allowing for the flexibility that eDCSD families desire.

You may view the new policy here.

Express Check In 2025

K-8, eSTAR, and Base students will complete Express Check-In through their neighborhood school/Primary Line of Enrollment. eDCSD is not doing express check in. Since the neighborhood school is the Primary Line of Enrollment, they will be accepting all new information for 25/26 (address, email, telephone number changes, etc). Please complete this ASAP.


All families in all programs will receive an Online Affidavit via email. Please complete this and return via email. The state requires this form each year of all students who participate in online programming.


All student fees for the 25/26 school year have been added to MySchoolBucks. After you complete Express Check-In and other paperwork, please visit MSB to pay fees for the school year.
