Asynchronous Learning
Dear DC Scholars Families,
In January, we experienced two days of inclement weather which led to a school closure. In accordance with OSSE and PCSB guidelines, we must “make-up” those days to ensure we meet the 180 day school calendar requirement. Fortunately, we can move to “situational distance learning,” this means, we will have two asynchronous days of learning: Monday, April 1, 2024 and Friday April 12, 2024.
On Friday, March 29, scholars will receive a packet of work from their core content classes. This work should be completed on Monday, April 1, 2024 and returned to school on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. In order for scholars to be marked present for school, all work must be completed and submitted to your scholar’s teacher.
On Thursday, April 11th, scholars will receive a spring break packet. This packet will be due on Monday, April 22nd. This work will be credited towards your scholar’s remote attendance for Friday, April 12th. In order for scholars to be marked present for school, all work must be completed and submitted to your scholar’s teacher.
In Partnership

Standardized Testing💻
The District of Columbia Comprehensive Assessments of Progress in Education (DC CAPE) include the DC ELA assessment (DC ELA), the DC Math assessment (DC Math) and the DC Science assessment (DC Science). Together, these assessments create a comprehensive system that provides important information on students’ progress and proficiency relative to DC’s educational standards. DC Scholars will hold a practice test on April 9, 2024 AND April 11, 2024 . Scholars will take this practice to help them prepare for the actual assessment which will begin on April 29, 2024. WE NEED YOU! Please ensure that students arrive to school on time to take the practice test”
