[quote=Anonymous]OP, most schools don't have anything formal before August. Try not to worry and reassure your child that schools in DC are used to helping new kids. Enjoy getting to know your neighborhood and the many attractions of the city in the 8 weeks or so before school starts! Librarians at your local DC public library should be a good resource for fun activities locally, summer reading, etc. Take a Metrobus ride and ask the driver what families like to do when in the area. Same for post office, market, etc. Email the principal and call the front office to see if you can do a quick tour or say "hi" in person with your child. They are often working over the summer. It depends on the school, but PTAs/PTOs are usually off during the summer and go through officer turnover. Nearly all camps are full at this point of the year, but it won't hurt to contact your local DC Parks recreation center. Welcome to DC![/quote]
