DoWEA Student Information System (DSIS)

We are currently experiencing a system-wide delay in student re-registrations submitted after June 24, 2026, in the DoWEA Student Information System (DSIS) due to a recent system upgrade. Our technical teams are actively working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Please do not re-register your child as a new student. Doing so may delay the re-registration process once the issue is resolved. At this time, no action is required from families. We will notify you as soon as student re-registration becomes available.
