DC Prep

DC Prep DC Prep is one of the oldest & largest public charter school networks in the nation's capital.

DC Prep is a network of public charter schools serving over 2,100 preschool through 8th grade students across six campuses in Wards 5, 7, and 8. We’re proud of being the highest-performing public charter network in Washington, DC – our students deserve our best! – while recognizing that how we support our students to be successful is as important as the results we achieve. That pushes us to reflec

t on questions such as how we can facilitate our students’ academic, social and emotional development, how we can support our team members’ professional growth and personal ability to do this work long-term, and how we can engage our students’ families as our own. While this work is hard, it’s worth it – we believe in the transformative power of education, the can-do-it-ness of our students and staff, and the joy that comes from engaging in meaningful work with people we care about and trust!

The vote is on Tuesday. And we can’t let the current budget proposal move forward. DC charter schools would receive $2,000 per student than other DC public schools. It’s not fair to our kids.

Comment with your Councilmember’s name to let them know you vote, and you don’t support the budget workaround that would lead to inequitable funding for nearly half of DC’s kids.

La votación es este martes. Y no podemos permitir que avance la propuesta presupuestaria actual. Las escuelas chárter de DC recibirían $2,000 menos por estudiante que otras escuelas públicas de DC. No es justo para nuestros niños.

Comenta con el nombre de tu concejal para hacerle saber que votas y que no apoyas la maniobra presupuestaria que resultaría en una financiación desigual para casi la mitad de los niños de DC.

The current budget proposal gives charter schools $2,000 less per student than DCPS schools.

If this budget passes as is, our school may not be able to give teachers raises or hire new teachers next year.

DC is having a tough budget year, no question. But it is unfair for DC charter school students to carry a bigger burden of the budget pain than other public school students.

DC needs to ensure public school students, not just some.

Like, comment, share if you agree.
____
La propuesta presupuestaria actual asigna a las escuelas públicas chárter $2,000 menos por estudiante que a las escuelas de DCPS.

Si este presupuesto se aprueba tal como está, es posible que nuestra escuela no pueda otorgar aumentos salariales a los maestros ni contratar nuevos docentes el próximo año.

Sabemos que este es un año presupuestario difícil para DC. Sin embargo, no es justo que los estudiantes de las escuelas públicas chárter carguen con una mayor parte de los recortes que otros estudiantes de escuelas públicas.

DC debe garantizar los estudiantes de escuelas públicas, no solo para algunos.

All DC students deserve equitable funding.

Next year, charter school students are set to receive $1,850 less per student than DCPS students for resources that support learning, growth, and opportunity.

Charter school students are public school students, and every student deserves equal investment.

We stand with our students, families, educators, and community in advocating fair funding for all DC public school students.
____
Todos los estudiantes de DC merecen financiamiento equitativo.

El próximo año, los estudiantes de escuelas charter recibirán $1,850 menos por estudiante que los estudiantes de DCPS para recursos que apoyan el aprendizaje, crecimiento y las oportunidades.

Los estudiantes de escuelas charter son estudiantes de escuelas públicas, y cada estudiante merece la misma inversión.

Apoyamos a nuestros estudiantes, familias, educadores y comunidad en la defensa de un financiamiento justo para todos los estudiantes de escuelas públicas de DC.

Our Preppies explored nature, gardening, and environmental learning during their visit to the Washington Youth Garden at the U.S. National Arboretum.

Students from DC Prep Edgewood Middle Campus participated in hands-on activities and team-building experiences that encouraged curiosity, collaboration, and exploration beyond the classroom.

Throughout the day, students learned about agriculture, pollinators, composting, and sustainable growing practices while tasting fruits, vegetables, herbs, and even homegrown honey from the on-site bee farm.

Experiences like these help bring classroom learning to life while encouraging students to continue asking questions about the world around them. This visit also connected beautifully to our Inclusion Week theme, “I belong, you belong, we belong,” as part of our “We Care for the World” celebration.

Nuestros Preppies exploraron la naturaleza, la jardinería y el aprendizaje ambiental durante su visita al
Washington Youth Garden en el U.S. National Arboretum.

Los estudiantes participaron en actividades prácticas y experiencias de trabajo en equipo que fomentaron la curiosidad, la colaboración y la exploración más allá del salón de clases. Durante el día, aprendieron sobre agricultura, polinizadores, compostaje y prácticas sostenibles de cultivo mientras probaban frutas, verduras, hierbas e incluso miel cultivada en el lugar.

Experiencias como esta ayudan a dar vida al aprendizaje del salón de clases y motivan a los estudiantes a seguir haciendo preguntas sobre el mundo que los rodea. Esta visita también se conectó con el tema de nuestra Semana de Inclusión: “Yo pertenezco, tú perteneces, todos pertenecemos,” como parte de nuestra celebración “Cuidamos el Mundo.”
