Current and Returning Families
All current and returning families will need to complete Express Check-In online for each student, prior to school beginning in August. This mandatory process helps ensure that we have the most up to date contact information on file.
Sibling enrollment: As a parent of a sibling…Please DO NOT create a new account as this will potentially impact your student’s open enrollment. If you have forgotten your Parent Portal account information, please email Bharathi Kamadana at bkamadana@c2e.org.

Returning After Unenrolling
Returning After Unenrolling
While we very much appreciate that families sometimes wish to return to C2E after leaving, we cannot guarantee or hold a spot for students once they have been unenrolled.
Parents interested in returning to C2E must go through the DCSD Open enrollment process again. The enrollment lottery happens in November of each year for the following academic year. Students can still be added to the waitlist after the lottery takes place.
