The 2025-2026 school year marks a change to Darlington’s web-based operating systems and the parent portal. You will begin noticing these changes when you receive your student’s enrollment contracts on Thursday, Feb. 6. We ask that all families complete their contracts by Feb. 21.
To ensure a smooth transition, the re-enrollment process is broken down into five straightforward steps in Veracross, our new information system. The first two steps represent items you would normally have done during the summer. This new system will streamline many of our processes and provide better service and security to our families throughout the year.
Step 1: Review your family information.
We worked diligently to accurately move your family's information into this new system. Take extra care this year to review and update this information to ensure our records are accurate and up to date.
Step 2: Complete school policies for re-enrollment.
All policies are now presented in one place for you to more simply confirm your agreement, including items related to the handbook, travel, health and medical needs, and technology.
Step 3: Sign Re-Enrollment Contracts.
The Re-Enrollment Contract for each of your children will become active after the above steps are completed. Once the Re-Enrollment Contract is open:
Step 4: Register for VCPay.
VCPay offers enhanced security and convenience for managing all school-related payments throughout the year. Enrolling authorizes charges to your bank account or debit/credit card for tuition and fees. VCPay replaces our previous payment program, FACTS.
Step 5: Pay your deposit.
Finalize your enrollment for the upcoming school year by paying your reservation deposit. Click on the "Pay Enrollment Fees" button to pay online using a credit card or ACH bank transfer.
International families have the option to pay the advanced deposit by wire transfer. Once we have received the wire transfer, we will let you know.
Confirmation Email
Once steps 1 through 5 have been completed, you will receive an email within 24 hours confirming your child’s space at Darlington for the 2025-26 school year.
If you have any questions, please contact Matthew Peer, assistant head of school for enrollment management, at mpeer@darlingtonschool.org or 706-236-0436.
