Congratulations on making the decision to empower your future! Once we’ve received your information, we can start the process of creating an Action Plan to fit your needs.
Enrollment Process

We’ll also need two consent forms signed: 1) a D2 Center consent, and 2) a school district consent. If you’re 18 or older, you can sign and date these consent forms yourself. If you’re under 18, a parent/guardian will need to sign and date. If you’re attending a school district other than OPS, we’ll assist you with getting their consent form.
