Choose your Dayton school task and open the right official page
Select the task closest to what you need. Dayton Public Schools uses separate official pages for the calendar, board meetings, BoardDocs agendas, meeting archives, district contact, enrollment, student records, transportation, meals, school pages, and public records requests.
📅 Calendar & date planning
Fast answer: official Dayton school pages parents usually need first
The official Dayton Board of Education / Dayton Public Schools website is Open dps.k12.oh.us. Use it for the district calendar, meeting information, BoardDocs agendas and minutes, meeting archives, school pages, enrollment, student records and transcripts, transportation, breakfast and lunch, student privacy, weather procedures, staff directory, and public records requests.
The main Dayton Public Schools office is listed at 136 S. Ludlow Street, Dayton, Ohio 45402, with phone 937-542-3000, fax 937-542-3202, and email info@daytonpublic.com. For office hours or walk-in help, call the main switchboard or the exact department first because not every district service follows the same public-facing schedule.

Use the official Calendar page and the adopted district calendar PDF for first-day, holiday, quarter, conference, spring break, and last-day planning.
🗓️ Need board meetings?
Use Meeting Information and BoardDocs for current agendas, minutes, board meeting documents, and public meeting materials.
🏢 Need office contact?
Use the Contact DPS page for the main office, phone, fax, email, and district switchboard routing.

Where to check Dayton Public Schools calendar dates and updates
The official Open Dayton Public Schools Calendar page is the best starting point for live district events and school-year calendar links. The district also publishes school-year PDF calendars, including the Open 2026-27 District Calendar PDF.
The 2026-27 calendar lists family meeting dates, first-day schedules for students, kindergarten dates, preschool dates, PD days, parent conferences, Thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break, district holidays, quarter endings, semester information, and the final day for students. It states that it was adopted by the Dayton Board of Education on January 20, 2026.
The calendar also warns that it may be altered at the discretion of the Board of Education and/or the administration. That warning matters. Families should recheck the current calendar before making travel plans, childcare plans, work schedules, or school-year assumptions.
📅 Live calendar
Use the DPS calendar page for current events, board-related dates, district activities, and school-year links.
📄 Calendar PDF
Use the adopted district calendar PDF for school-year planning dates and major closures.
👶 Preschool and kindergarten
Calendar PDFs may list separate preschool and kindergarten start or assessment dates.
⚠️ Recheck before planning
The calendar itself says it may be altered by the Board of Education and/or administration.
Dayton Board of Education office contact, phone, email and visit planning
The official Contact DPS page lists Dayton Public Schools at 136 S. Ludlow Street, Dayton, Ohio 45402. The main switchboard phone is 937-542-3000, fax is 937-542-3202, and email is info@daytonpublic.com.
For office hours, do not assume every department uses one identical walk-in schedule. Enrollment, records, transportation, public records, special education, food service, and central office questions may have different procedures, online forms, appointment needs, or department contacts.
The safest path is to call the main switchboard or use the exact official page for your task before visiting. This prevents wasted trips and avoids sending private student or records information to the wrong place.

☎️ Main switchboard

How to check Dayton board meeting information, public access and hearing rules
The official Open Meeting Information page is the right place to start for current board meeting details. The DPS site also links to Open Dayton BoardDocs for meeting agendas, minutes, policies, and board documents.
Dayton Public Schools maintains board agendas and associated documents through BoardDocs. BoardDocs pages can show current agenda items, minutes, policy items, library items, and meeting lists. Because meeting pages can update, do not rely only on a video title, old PDF, or social media post.
Public participation rules matter. Board policy search results show that speakers may need to meet district-related requirements, and the presiding officer may limit comments that are frivolous, repetitive, potentially defamatory, or harassing. Always check the current Meeting Information page and BoardDocs materials before preparing public comments.
Open Meeting Information
Start with the official DPS Meeting Information page for current meeting guidance.
Open BoardDocs
Use BoardDocs for agendas, minutes, meeting items, policies, and board documents.
Check archives if needed
Use Meeting Archives for older meeting records and the BoardDocs archive after June 1, 2015.
Review public comment rules
Follow current hearing-of-the-public instructions before speaking or submitting comments.
Meeting caution: Board meeting times, special meetings, agenda items, minutes, and public participation rules can update. Always check the official Meeting Information page and BoardDocs before attending or speaking.
BoardDocs agendas, minutes, policy items and meeting archives
The official Open Meeting Archives page says all Dayton Board of Education documents after June 1, 2015 are available and archived on BoardDocs. It also links older archives from 2008 through 2014.
The public BoardDocs page is useful for current and past meeting materials, but it may display draft language. BoardDocs says an agenda is considered a draft until approved by the Dayton Board of Education. Treat agenda files as planning materials and minutes as meeting records after posting or approval.
If you are following a policy item, budget item, personnel item, public hearing, or board vote, check the current meeting, minutes, and any attached documents. Do not quote an isolated search result without opening the actual BoardDocs material.
📄 Agendas
Use BoardDocs for meeting agendas and agenda item details.
🧾 Minutes
Use BoardDocs and archives for posted meeting minutes and records.
⚖️ Policies
BoardDocs includes policy items and policy search tools.
📚 Archives
Meeting documents after June 1, 2015 are archived on BoardDocs.
Dayton board members, board page and spokesperson caution
The official Open Meet The Board page is the current source for Dayton Public Schools Board of Education member information. Use that page before naming a board member, contacting the board, or publishing member details.
Board membership and roles can change after elections, resignations, appointments, or reorganizations. Search results and older documents may show outdated names. The safer approach is to link users to the current Meet The Board page and BoardDocs for official records.
DPS alumni information also notes that the Board of Education President is the only spokesperson for the Board. If you are a parent, reporter, community member, or organization seeking an official board statement, use the official district contact process rather than assuming any individual member speaks for the full board.
👥 Board member list
Use the Meet The Board page for current Dayton Board of Education member information.
📄 Official documents
Use BoardDocs for board actions, agenda items, minutes, and policies.
🗣️ Spokesperson caution
DPS information states the Board President is the spokesperson for the Board.
🔁 Recheck roles
Board names and roles can change, so always use the current official page.
Find Dayton schools, bell schedules and school-specific pages
The DPS website includes a “Find Schools Near You” link, a Open Bell Schedule page, and school links for elementary and secondary schools. School pages are important because school-level events and building notices can differ from district-wide calendar information.
Elementary school links listed in DPS navigation include Belle Haven, Cleveland, Charity Adams Earley Girls Academy, Eastmont, Edison, Fairview, Horace Mann, Kemp, Kiser, Louise Troy, River’s Edge Montessori, Roosevelt, Rosa Parks Early Learning Center, Ruskin, The International School at Residence Park, Valerie, and Westwood.

⏰ Bell schedule
Use the official Bell Schedule page for current school-day timing guidance.

K-12 enrollment, preschool enrollment, homeschooling and required documents
The DPS navigation includes Open K-12 Student Enrollment, Preschool Enrollment, and Homeschooling resources. Families should start from official DPS enrollment links before uploading documents or preparing for registration.
Enrollment can involve proof of residency, birth records, custody or guardianship information, immunization records, prior school records, language support needs, program placement, and school assignment. Required documents can change, and older news posts may not reflect the current process.
Use the official enrollment page, then call the district or school if your situation involves custody, homelessness, special education, language support, transfer from another district, preschool eligibility, or missing records.
🧾 K-12 enrollment
Use the official DPS K-12 Student Enrollment page for student registration steps.
👶 Preschool enrollment
Use the DPS preschool enrollment link when registering preschool-age students.
🏠 Homeschooling
Use the district homeschooling resource if your family needs homeschool guidance.
🔐 Document caution
Do not submit private student or residency documents through unofficial websites.
Student records, transcripts and online records requests
The official Open Student Records & Transcripts page is the correct starting point for student records and transcript requests. DPS says all student records and transcript inquiries must be requested online.
The DPS FAQ page also says the district uses a safe and secure platform called ScribOrder to complete student records requests. If you are a current student, former student, graduate, employer, college, military recruiter, or agency needing records, start with the official DPS records page.
Records involve sensitive information. Do not email transcripts, IDs, birth certificates, custody papers, Social Security numbers, or student records to unofficial addresses or upload them to pages not linked from the district website.
🎓 Transcripts
Use the official Student Records & Transcripts page for transcript requests.
💻 Online request
DPS says records and transcript inquiries must be requested online.
🔐 ScribOrder
DPS FAQ references ScribOrder for safe and secure student records requests.
⚠️ Privacy warning
Never submit private student records through unofficial websites.
Dayton school transportation, bus questions and student route help
The DPS navigation includes Open Transportation. Use this official page for student transportation questions instead of guessing route eligibility from a map or distance.
Transportation can depend on address, grade, school assignment, zone, program, special education transportation, safety rules, and district routing decisions. DPS has also posted transportation updates in prior years, so families should rely on current official transportation information.
If your question involves late bus, route change, missing bus information, student eligibility, transportation zone, or special transportation need, use the official transportation page or district contact path.
🚌 Transportation page
Use the official DPS Transportation page for bus and student travel support.
📍 Student-specific details
Route and eligibility questions can depend on address, grade, school assignment, and program.
♿ Special transportation
Special education transportation questions should be handled through official district contacts.
⚠️ Don’t guess
Google Maps distance alone does not determine school transportation eligibility.
Dayton breakfast, lunch and school meal information
The official Open Breakfast & Lunch page is the right place for DPS school meal information. DPS states that all students receive free breakfast and lunch at Dayton Public Schools.
Meal service details, menus, special schedules, summer food service, and building-specific timing can change. Families should use official DPS meal links and school communication pages for current information.
🍽️ Free meals
DPS states all students receive free breakfast and lunch.
📅 Menu and timing
Meal schedules may vary by school, month, and special schedule.
🌞 Summer meals
DPS also links to Summer Food Service Program information.
🏫 School-specific help

Media, legal, public records and student records request differences
The official Open Media, Legal & Public Records Requests page is for media, legal, and public records matters. This is different from student transcript requests, which should begin at the Student Records & Transcripts page.
Mixing public records, legal records, student transcripts, and private student records can delay your request. If you need a transcript or student record, use the student records pathway. If you need a public record or media/legal contact, use the public records page.
Records disclaimer: Public records procedures, student privacy laws, FERPA rights, exemptions, and legal timelines can apply. This guide is not legal advice. Use official DPS pages before submitting a request.
Special education, health services, McKinney-Vento and school support resources
DPS navigation includes the Office for Exceptional Children, Health Services, McKinney-Vento, attendance, bullying, student privacy, and school communication resources. Families should use these official pages when student needs go beyond a general calendar or meeting question.
If your question involves an IEP, evaluation, services, accommodations, student privacy, homelessness support, health services, attendance, bullying, or a school-based concern, start with the school team and the official DPS department page for that topic.
♿ Exceptional children
Use DPS special education resources for services and support guidance.
🏥 Health services
DPS lists Health Services in its department navigation.
🏠 McKinney-Vento
Use the McKinney-Vento page for housing instability and student support resources.
