[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks so much for your quick and very helpful replies so far!

Yes, we are in-bounds, just east of Rock Creek Park.  Similar to a prior poster, we also know a few Deal-bound families through other activities like scouts and various summer camps.  It's encouraging to hear the kids sort of get shuffled anyway.  We also will be interested in clubs like theatre and cross country -- hopefully that might help find some new buddies.

The idea of reaching out to other families in our neighborhood such as with listservs is a good idea too.

We signed up for the Deal Principal's bulletin and saw a reference to the RISE summer camp that a couple other posters mentioned.   It says they held it three different times -- does anyone know which dates they offered?  [/quote]

This year they offered it July 9, 16, 23.  HIGHLY recommend it.  My son thought it was boring (it's school in the summer after all) but it was invaluable in giving him confidence.  He walked in on day 1 like he had been going there for years. 
We come from a feeder elementary and he walks with his friends each morning and most afternoons.  However, he's not in class with any of them.  He's already made 2 friends from other schools and eats lunch with them (and his old buddies) each day. 
It's been great to see him branch out a bit from the kids he's known since PK.  
As a previous poster mentioned he also knows kids from little league, travel baseball, scouts, camps, the pool, preschool, etc.  It's been a melting pot of all of our DC worlds.
