Today our 10th grade students and staff heard about the Connected Schools model and how it impacts and expands capacity for the whole school community. Healing centered practices, authentic community engagement, strong student support systems are just a few of the key elements we are practicing . We are ready to start the year strong! @dcpublicschools @DCPSconnected @XQAmerica

This past week at Dunbar has been special. We've had many activities and partners invest in the wellbeing of our students. @Deloitte and @CollegeBoundInc spoke to our 9th grade academy for Impact Day. As we #redesign high school, we will continue to give our students new experiences with those who have been successful. The industry professionals and the current and newly graduate students discussed the current and future work climate, their own personal and professional journeys, and some best practices to being intentional about making life decisions.
@dcpublicschools @DCPSconnected @XQAmerica
Interested in providing opportunities like these to our students? Please email dakari.taylor-watson3@k12.dc.gov

Today's #NSCW23 spotlight is Ms. Miche' Walden, the @JohnsonMiddleDCschool counselor. She was born and raised in DC and is a proud advocate for students and families who call Ward 8 home. Recently, she received a $100,000 grant to expand CTE programs at Johnson!

By investing in things like high-dosage tutoring, afterschool & summer learning programs, and tutoring/mentorship programs that are focused on accelerating learning – we can close achievement gaps & help students perform better in the classroom.

Lavon Surratt was once homeless as a child, but he only missed ONE day of school in 13 years! Today, he’s an educational aide at Anacostia HS and just earned his Master’s in Education studying ways to encourage kids to stay in school. Congrats, Mr. Surratt!
