Back to School Fair
Thank you to all the families that showed up to our Back to School Fair! Despite the gloomy weather, scholars and families were able to meet some of our community partners, enjoy food and music. If you were unable to join please check Dean'sList for the presentation on important school policies. We hope to see you all at the next event!
Communication at DC Scholars
DeansList allows us to share more information with you about your scholar's progress in school. Many of you have asked about weekly progress reports based on family feedback. The DeansList system allows you, as the parent/guardian, to view your scholar's attendance, grades, and weekly behavior. For students, it provides opportunities to reflect on their behavior and academic progress and make purchases from the school store with their points. At Open House, we shared login links for families to join. Please reach out to your scholar's teacher if you need the link. Check out the video below to help navigate the new platform.

Dismissal begins at 3:15pm for Middle School scholars Monday-Thursday and 12:45pm on Fridays.

During pickup, families are expected to pull into the far left lane closest to school on East Capitol. DO NOT sit or park in the middle lane to avoid traffic jams. If you are blocking or parked in this lane, you may receive a ticket as this is a main street. Scholar pick up information is below:
