On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, DC Public Schools (DCPS) hosted a kick-off meeting about the new middle school DCPS will open in School Year 2028-2029. (For details, check out our posts about the FY25 budget,  an opportunity to join the Community Working Group, or a recap of engagement in the feeder schools.)  We’re grateful to everyone who attended! 

The event, held at Shaw Neighborhood Library, attracted a full house, with about 35 community members plus representatives from DCPS. The group participated in visioning exercises for the new school, explored the results of the community survey, and asked questions about plans for the new school. At this meeting, the application for the New MS on Euclid St Community Working Group (CWG) was released. You can learn more about the CWG here. The CWG application will be open until January 15, 2025, and can be found here: https://bit.ly/newdcpscwg.
