DCPS is launching virtual Parent University workshops to provide information and start conversations on topics that we know are top of mind for families. I invite you to join me at the first session on “Managing Stress as Adults” on Wednesday, April 8 at 2:30 p.m. You can RSVP for this and all upcoming workshops at dcpsparentu2020.eventbrite.com.
For our elementary families, DCPS “Fun with Phonics” lessons are now available on TV every weekday from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. and then again from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. These videos are a great way for your student to continue to develop early literacy skills and are available on Comcast (Channel 99), RCN (Channel 18), Verizon (Channel 12), or on the DCPS YouTube channel. I hope that your family tunes in to join our teachers for these exciting lessons.
