Family Newsletter

Dear Hyde-Addison ES Families,

For those counting down to the last day of school, there are less than two weeks remaining for students. Remember, every day matters. We look forward to seeing our students, each and every day, until the last day of school on June 22, 2023.

Additionally, there is one more week to donate to the toiletry drive. As part of our continued outreach efforts, the Hyde-Addison school community is participating in a toiletry drive, June 5-16, 2023, to support those in need. More information is below.

Kindest Regards,

Dr. Calvin Hooks, Principal

Hyde-Addison Elementary School

Families who are fully enrolled for next school year received a stand alone newsletter from us with information for next school year. If you did not receive it but believe your child should be enrolled, please reach out to the main office at your earliest convenience so that it can be fixed. You can email hyde.addison@k12.dc.gov or call 202-282-0170. If you still need to enroll, click here or if you plan to attend another school in the fall let us know you don't plan to return.

The elections for parents/guardians to serve on the Local School Advisory Team (LSAT) for school year 2022-23 are now open. Elections will be open through June 16 and the results will be shared in the newsletter on June 23. Vote for up to 4 candidates. Ballots with more than 4 candidates selected will not be counted.

As we prepare to launch into school year 2023-24, we would like to invite new and returning families to join us for the engagement opportunities outlined below. Together, we will share important information, ask questions, and build connections as a school community.

In order for the school team to ensure the safety of students during dismissal processes, the policy is that Parents/Guardians arrive at the main entrance of the school building before 2:50pm if they need to pick up their child for early dismissal. This provides enough time for our staff to communicate, for students to gather their belongings, and for us to supervise them safely exiting with the appropriate adult before we prepare to do the same for the general dismissal students, who begin transitioning shortly thereafter.

If you would like a Kids Ride Free Card for your student, please fill out this short form. They will be sent home in students' backpacks on Mondays.

June 19: DCPS closed in recognition of Juneteenth

June 22: Last day of school for students

First Tuesday of the Month: LSAT Meeting

Fourth Tuesday of the Month: PTA General Body Meeting on Zoom

Last Friday of the Month: Equity and Anti-Racism Task Force Meeting on Microsoft Teams
