Weather aside, summer is quickly coming to a close. For families with young children, this means the beginning of the school year. This Monday marks the official first day of school for the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). Whether you live on Capitol Hill, Trinidad, the Palisades, or any of the Northwest Washington, sending your children back to school is no easy task especially if you are new to the Washington DC area.
The District of Columbia Public School (DCPS) System has developed a series of tools that will help with you and your child’s smooth transition. Whether you are looking for enrollment forms, immunization requirements, school supplies lists, or applications for free and reduced meals, DCPS has developed a First Day of School website. For those parents familiar with YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, DCPS has official registered accounts with each of these social media networks (see links below).
If you are a young family looking to purchase a new home and are concerned about finding a public school for children, please feel free to contact me. I in Chevy Chase, Northwest Washington DC, Capitol Hill, and the up and coming Trinidad DC neighborhood.
