You can get a little more personal views on schools there.

I’m the PP who just asked about Stokes tours. I also couldn’t find info about a Brookland school fair. Any idea how I can learn more/stay informed about that? Thanks!

The Brookland schools fair: you'll see it posted to Brookland Kids listserv. If you're not on that it's a Yahoo group you can look up.

Otherwise, you can try reaching out to Menkiti when it's closer to December and ask if it's happening and when. That's where it is usually held.

I just saw tours posted for DC Bilingual:

November 20, 9:00-10:00AM
December 18, 9:00-10:00AM
January 15, 9:00-10:00AM
February 19, 9:00-10:00AM

They ask that you RSVP if coming.

My daughter attends Stokes. See the information below on Stokes tours and open houses. This is only for the Brookland Campus:

When going through this process last year, I found it difficult to find out about open houses. Myschooldc posted a lot of information, but not all of it, and a lot of school's don't keep their websites up-to-date. It's really best to call the school and ask if you don't find it online.
