We’ll also need two consent forms signed: 1) a D2 Center consent (download: (English [PDF] or Spanish [PDF]), and 2) a school district consent (download the OPS consent here (English [PDF] or Spanish [PDF]). 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.

Our Staff Specialist, Jodie Martinez, will contact you so she can give you an overview of the D2 Center and the services we provide.

Jodie will have an in-depth interview with you, so she can learn more about your life both in and out of school, including your academic history and other issues you may be facing that have affected your education.

Jodie will help you complete the intake process OPS release, parental consent and D2 consent. If you go to school outside of OPS she’ll help you get the required consent forms; and you’ll then be assigned a Youth Academic Navigator (YAN).

You’ll meet with Jodie, your parent or guardian*, and your Youth Academic navigator (YAN) to assess and strategize to make sure you’re on track to graduate and connect you to resources in the community to help with other barriers you may face. You will also have access to D2 services, such as tutoring, elective credits and Career Navigators.
