Principal's Message
Dear Families,
Although the city is beginning to reopen more fully with some safety protocols and restrictions lifting, please note that DCPS is maintaining safety protocols currently in place through the end of Term 4 for all schools. If you plan to travel out of the DMV for Memorial Day, you must notify your child's teacher or me and plan to quarantine for ten days or produce a negative COVID PCR test result within 3-5 days of returning to DC prior to returning to campus for in-person learning.
Wishing you continued good health. Please continue to visit coronavirus.dc.gov for the most current COVID information for DC residents.
Best Regards,
Holly

Current Enrollment Stats
Thank you to all families who have re-enrolled for next school year!
DCPS expects us to be at 90% re-enrollment by June 4 and fully enrolled by the last day of school. Meeting these benchmark targets is critical to avoid any impacts on resources and staffing and to avoid over-enrolling in a grade through the waiting lists. If you have not already done so, please re-enroll today! Our rising K and 1st grade classes are leading the way with their enrollment efforts.
Current Enrollment by Grade
PK4:19
K: 15
1st: 21
2nd: 19
3rd: 17
4th: 12
5th: 4
Please remember to schedule medical appointments and complete all health forms. Updated immunizations are required for students to return to campus next fall. Please see the attached flier from the DC Health with more information.
