To support the school opening and planning for Military Road Early Learning Center, the MRELC School Opening Advisory Group was created earlier this spring. This group consists of local community members, representatives from DCPS schools near Military Road ELC, and broader citywide representatives and will meet regularly until the start of this upcoming School Year 2021-2022. We have added a few more parent reps (Stevens ELC and Lafayette ES) and updated our membership list here.

For the second meeting on Thursday, April 29, 2021, Principal Hunt shared the new Mighty Oaks as the mascot to honor the historic oak trees on campus and gathered feedback on potential logo options. The Military Road School Preservation Trust also shared details on the history of the building while the DCPS Facilities Team shared a current status of the building and what to expect in the coming months. Lastly, we reviewed the My School DC lottery applicant and matched students’ data for MRELC. Check out the presentation from the second meeting here. Questions? Email DCPS.planning@k12.dc.gov or MilitaryRoadELCenroll@k12.dc.gov.

Families are still welcome to apply to the Military Road Early Learning Center via a My School DC post-lottery application. Need help with your application? Contact the MSDC hotline at (202) 888-6336.
