Welcome Back DC Prep Team!

Letter from DC Prep Principals to Returning Staff

We hope you are enjoying a well-deserved summer vacation! We cannot wait to hear about your time away when we return on Monday, August 10th for the first day of August Orientation.  

Our DC Prep Leadership Teams have been hard at work this summer planning for SY26-27. Our goals and mission remain rigorous – our students deserve to leave our doors as 8th graders prepared to thrive in the high school of their choice that will put them on the path to the college and career of their choice.

During August Orientation we will have a lot to accomplish and are incredibly excited about the professional development, collaborative planning, and relationship building that that we will engage in over these ten days. We have heard from Campus Teams that they would prefer to spend their time in-person doing things you can only do in-person (building relationships with co-teachers, meetings with your coach, setting up your classroom, etc), so we have created this site to provide information about required online training modules so you can decide what time works best for you to complete these trainings before the first day of school on Monday, August 24, 2026.

The tasks below are required by DC’s Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) and DC Prep is legally required to report the names of staff members who complete specific trainings. For this reason, it is important to fill out the Onboarding Module Tracking Form for each task as you complete it.

If you need any support with these onboarding tasks, please reach out to your Principal via email as soon as possible!
