Dear Dayton Christian Families,
As we transition to an online learning approach, it will be vital for you and your student(s) to use DC Connect as our primary learning platform. In order to assist you with this, we have gathered some Frequently Asked Questions to help you become more familiar with DC Connect.
How do I login to DC Connect?
If you or your students have not yet logged into DC Connect, or if you forget your password, please follow the instructions below to set/reset your password and then login to DC Connect. This process should be completed once for each individual user, as each parent and each student have their own unique username and password.
- Go to https://daytonchristian.myschoolapp.com (or type the shortcut connect.daytonchristian.com) into any web browser.
- Click on Forgot Login or First Time Logging In.
- Enter the email address listed in your (or your student’s) profile in DC Connect and then select the box by Username and by Password, as needed. Select Send.
- If prompted, enter your first name and last name. Select Send again.
- The system will email you a password reset link. Once you click on the password reset link, you will be able to set your own password and then login. Note: The password reset URL times out after two hours, so you must reset the password within that time.
- You are now logged in. Enjoy DC Connect!
Note: When logging in, please remember to use your username and not your email address to login. If you need further assistance, please email
connect@daytonchristian.com
for technical support.
