Discovery Link - 21st Century Grant (School Year & Summer)

Discovery Link & Little Links

2026–2027 Registration Information

Discovery Link and Little Links provide high-quality before- and after-school programming for Denver Public Schools students, supporting academic enrichment, social-emotional development, and hands-on learning experiences.

What’s New for 2026–2027

One-year registration: Families will register once for the full school year (no separate fall and spring semesters). This helps you plan ahead and secure consistent programming for your student.

Scheduling, Calendar, Attendance & Billing

  • Scheduling and calendar: Review schedules carefully. If you have questions, contact our team at discovery_link@dpsk12.org or (720) 423-1781.
  • Attendance and billing: Families are responsible for all registered program days. If your student will not attend, remove the day by 4:00 PM on the business day prior to the session to avoid charges.
  • Stay informed: Families may see multiple program options during registration.
