On March 4, 2026, DC Public Schools (DCPS) hosted a presentation on special education for the New Middle School on Euclid St Community Working Group (CWG). (To read past posts about the new middle school opening in 2028, click on New DCPS Middle School – Euclid St under Categories).
During the meeting, DCPS’ Division of Specialized Instruction (DSI) led a presentation on the range of services available to students, including self-contained classrooms. DSI explained that the new middle school will offer Behavior and Education Supports (BES) and Specific Learning Supports (SLS) classrooms. To learn more about these classrooms, review the meeting materials linked below or review the DCPS Special Education Family Guide. After the presentation, CWG members asked questions about special education and had an open discussion about building community across schools.
