Dear DCI School Community,

This past weekend, the vibrant hum of machines echoed through DCI's gym as our Robotics teams proudly hosted not one, but two FiRST Tech Challenge tournaments. Welcoming 50 middle and high school teams and over 600 spectators from across the DMV, our students put their robots to the test after months of collaborative engineering. 

We invite you to support our Robotics team by seeing their robots in action on December 16th at Jackson-Reed High School. The competitions are free, open to the public, and promise a day filled with thrilling matches from 10 am to 3 pm.

Speaking of supporting DCI Dragons, we extend heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity on Giving Tuesday. Together, we've already raised more than $10,000! Our year-end giving campaign continues until December 31st, and our vision for 2024 is to create even more opportunities that open doors for DCI students. From STEM to language learning; from academic work inside the classroom to extracurricular activities; opportunities at DCI prepare students for the world.

Join us and make a gift today! Thank you for being the village that makes DCI's dreams a reality.

Parent Focus Group Update

Thank you to those who volunteered to attend the 5-year Plan Parent Focus Group sessions. The virtual slots are full, but we're still seeking a few parents for the in-person session on December 12th at DCI (5:30 pm). 

Each session hosts 5-7 parents with language support. Please RSVP and specify interpretation needs. For questions, contact Angel Morales, our Family Engagement Coordinator.
