Student Registration Process

The Darien Family Connection provides an online registration process, which allows families to register new students online. Student registration forms can be saved and edited until parents choose to submit the data. Once submitted, the new student registration information will still be available for viewing; however, you will not be able to edit after submitting. Parent/guardian information will automatically populate for families who have a student currently or previously enrolled in the Darien Public Schools.

Option 1: For families with currently registered students or previously registered in District and have an Aspen Portal Account
Option 2: For families new to the Darien Public Schools without an Aspen Portal Account
