What You Need to Know
As we gear up for the new school year, there’s one important thing all Downey Unified families need to do before the first day of school: complete your Annual Verification starting July 1.
What is Annual Verification?
You may know this process as “Registration” from previous years, but we’ve updated the name to better reflect what this step actually is: verifying and confirming your and your child’s existing information in our system.
This includes contact information, emergency contacts, medical info, and any changes that might have happened since the last school year. It’s not for selecting classes or enrolling a new student, but simply making sure everything on file is correct and up to date.
Who Needs to Do It?
Every Downey Unified family must complete Annual Verification before August 7th, whether your child is returning to their campus or starting at a new one within the district.
If you’re brand new to Downey Unified and still need to enroll, head to enroll.dusd.net instead.
How to Complete It
Starting July 1, log in to the Q Parent Connect Portal to verify all needed information for each student attending during the 2026-27 school year before Friday, August 7th. It only takes a few minutes, but it’s a must-do before your child starts the new school year.
Annual Verification Opens July 1
Log in at parentconnect.dusd.net or use your Q Parent Connect Portal
*Required for all continuing and newly enrolled students
Taking a few minutes to complete your Annual Verification helps us make sure we’re ready to support your student from day one. Thanks for being a part of the Downey Unified family!
Let’s have a great year together! 🎉
