[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish this conversation would get back to Shepherd Elementary School.  OP, I hope that you're not afraid about moving into the Shepherd Park neighborhood.  It's a great place to live.  We don't have the racial division that you see demonstrated on DCUM.   [/quote]
OP. I'm still here! I haven't answered in a while, but I'm still reading the responses. I've been on DCUM long enough to know that,  as with any even slightly controversial topic, there would be a lot of thread derailment. But in between all of that, there are a lot of good and thoughtful responses (which is what I love about DCUM). We're actually already in the neighborhood, having moved in last summer, and I agree that it's a great place to live! The helpful responses here have gone a long way to assuage any concerns I was starting to feel after talking with my friend. Her experiences are valid, but they were also 30 years ago and in a vastly different type of area. After reading all the great things on here and other threads about Shepherd Elementary, I'm getting excited about next year. I think that it will be a great experience and we're all looking forward to meeting other Shepherd Elementary families.  :) [/quote]

Cool!  I'm the in-boundary PP with a child in PK from the first few pages of this thread.  I think you and your family will love it--it's a great little school.  Will hopefully be even better with the renovations (next phase will supposedly be done by year's end).

Last year I believe there was a Pop in and Preview Day in late May for all registered families--I'm sure you could attend one of those and get an even better feel for the school.

Hope to see you in the fall![/quote]
