Open Houses and Lottery
Jefferson Academy Open Houses on February 2013!
Lots of great reasons to visit Jefferson Academy and get to know the community!
Final lottery season Open Houses at Francis-Stevens
From our friends at Francis-Stevens PTA…Francis-Stevens is a PS-8 Education Campus located in Foggy Bottom/West-end of Dupont. One of the results of recent consolidation by DCPS is that Francis-Stevens will be merging with School Without Walls, an application-only public HS based near the campus of the George Washington University. Francis-Stevens PS-8 students will continue to occupy their current building and entry to Francis-Stevens will continue to be through DCPS’ PS/PK/OOB lottery. 70% of Francis-Stevens students come from OOB and the PTA hopes the school can continue to serve a citywide population.
See their brochure: SWW at FS Brochure Feb
Francis-Stevens is hosting the following Open Houses for prospective families (all grades):
*Saturday 2/16, 10am – Noon
Thursday 2/21, 8:30 – 10 am
*At this Saturday’s open house, School Without Walls (SWW) Principal Richard Trogisch – who will now administer FS as well as SWW – will outline his vision for the 2013/14 year and the future of Francis-Stevens. The Saturday session may be of particular interest to families looking at middle schools. Mr. Trogisch has mentioned plans to align Grades 5-8 curriculum with SWW and College Board standards.All sessions will take place at Francis-Stevens Educational Campus at 2425 N St. NW.
LOTTERY NOTE: DCPS now lists us as “School Without Walls at Francis-Stevens” on its on-line lottery form.

DCPS Open Houses Resume in January!
It may still be the holidays, but our CHPSPO schools are busy planning for open houses, where they will showcase their programs. Open houses are a great way to check out your local or out of boundary schools.
DC Public Schools (DCPS) keeps a central list of upcoming open houses, but it’s a good idea to check in with the school, in case of inclement weather.
The DCPS pre-school/pre-K/out of boundary lottery for the 2012-13 school year is open January 30-February 27, 2012. Read more about this on the DCPS website.
