Welcome to the 2022-2023 DC PCSB Back To School Hub. This resource page seeks to provide information to help students, families and school leaders get ready for the new school year!
Due to ongoing wintry weather, DC public charter schools may have delayed entries and/or closures on Friday, January 19, 2024. Weekend school activities may be affected.
Many public charter schools will close for Winter break in December. To assist students and families with planning for these school closures, DC PCSB compiled a schedule of upcoming winter break dates.
[UPDATED AUGUST 2023] For more than two years, DC PCSB has been revising our accountability framework, which analyzes school performance as part of our effort to achieve excellent public charter school education in the City.
As we head back to school, it is important all students are up to date with routine immunizations! Below are resources from OSSE and DC Health for families and school staff.
DC SchoolConnect Services
Families can learn more about the DC SchoolConnect program which offers free and safe transportation to school, events, and after school activities for students residing in Wards 7 and 8.
All students must have up-to-date immunization certification on file with the school within the first 20 school days or they will not be allowed to attend school or school activities until the immunization certification is secured by the school. Review this page to guarantee your students are ready for school.
DC laws and regulations require that any child attending a school or daycare in DC submit a completed Universal Health Certificate and Oral Health Assessment Form annually to demonstrate that all students are receiving the health care they need.
Adult immunizations are critical to helping reduce the spread of vaccine preventable diseases to residents, visitors, and those working in the District. Adult learners ages 18 & up can access free immunizations through the adult immunization program.
