[quote=DCPSschoolplanning][quote=Anonymous]I live in the Capitol Riverfront (within the Van Ness Boundary), and I want to know what we can do to influence what the chose curriculum will be at the school.  Our family (and a lot of our neighbors) would really like to see a rigorous (maybe IB) program set up at Van Ness Elementary School.  We want an elementary school that can prepare students to enter the more challenging middle schools, and eventually prepare students to enter the more challenging high schools in the city.  What can we do to make sure Van Ness has a curriculum that provides this to students?  We really believe that this will drive interest in Van Ness, and will have families living in the Capitol Riverfront to want to send their kids there.   It also will have the effect of making the Capitol Riverfront a place for families to settle down and move to.  There are literally thousands of units of housing planned for the area in the next 1 - 3 years, and ensuring that Van Ness has a challenging curriculum will absolutely make it a desirable DCPS Elementary School.[/quote]

For curriculum information, please take a look at our community meeting presentation, particularly pages 15-23: https://vannesses.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/111814_112014-van-ness-es-community-meetings-presentation.pdf

We are still looking for input on curriculum from the community. You can take a look at the presentation and email us at andrew.katz-moses@dc.gov with your thoughts, or come to our follow-up meeting in January to join the conversation there. We will be posting more information through our twitter feed (@VanNessDCPS) and via email as well. We look forward to seeing you then!
