It's a busy week in our community, with several events and activities for families and discussions on potential school changes. Also, please note our Ward 1 State Board Representative, Ben Williams, is included in this email, so you have his contact information.
TONIGHT (9/20), 7:00 PM: Ward 2 Education Council Meeting to discuss upcoming school boundary and student assignment study This meeting will cover 3 'scenarios' to configure school feeder patterns, etc. Feeder patterns are where your student has the right to attend based on their current school when moving from a terminal grade, e.g. 5th to 6th. There is overlap b/w W1 and W2 schools, both in where our students attend and how our current feeder pattern works, so I have been collaborating and sharing in outreach efforts with the W2EC and David Alpert, who sits on the Advisory Committee for this study. He also has a good substack that provides analysis on education.
Register for the meeting here. You'll receive a link in your email.
FRIDAY (9/22), 7:00 PM: Columbia Heights Movie Night is back! After a long hiatus, we are kicking this fun event off with The Incredibles in Tubman Elementary's field (3101 13th Street). Details and registration here
SATURDAY (9/23), 10:00AM - 12:00PM: Ward 1 Family and Education Meetup. This month, we will share resources and information on BULLYING & HARASSMENT in our schools and keeping kids safe. This quarterly meeting is for families and anyone interested in the issues that impact our youth.
SUNDAY (9/24), 3:30 PM: ANC1A Public Safety Summit. Columbia Heights Village, 2900 14th St.
There are TWO Town Halls Next week to review the landscape of DCPS boundaries and student assignment analysis, provide feedback on potential policy tools, and receive an introduction to the online web tool. Both town halls will cover the same information.
