STEM Express Check-In: Now Open!

Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! We’re excited to partner with you for another incredible year of learning, growth, and innovation at STEM School Highlands Ranch.

To prepare for the start of the school year, all families must complete the required DCSD Online Express Check-In process through the EngagED Parent Portal and complete the 2025-26 STEM Express Check-In Form, which is linked inside the EngagED Parent Portal as part of the Express Check-In module. This process confirms student information, communication preferences, district-required policies and STEM-required policies.

The deadline to complete Express Check-In is July 31st, but we encourage you to complete the process as soon as possible to ensure a smooth start to the school year.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important process. Completing Express Check-In ensures we have accurate, up-to-date information for your student and helps us launch the year with confidence.

We are glad to have you as part of our STEM community — we’re excited for a fantastic year ahead!

With appreciation,

Laurie Veldhuizen

Director of Enrollment and Engagement

If you need to change your district password and/or manage your account, you can do so on the DCSD website Manage DCSD Account.
