AJE is at EdFEST right now!

We are disappointed that we will not be able to talk in person with families at EdFEST this year, but we are thankful that we are safely able to engage online with you and remain available to support families today and through the lottery process this year as we have in years past.
Please view a special welcome message from our Executive Director, Rochanda Hiligh-Thomas for families attending EdFEST.

AJE Staff are also available at EdFEST for Video Conferences and Direct Messages, and we have Spanish Speaking Staff available at 202-876-5690.

If you have not registered for EdFEST, you can still do so here.
Families can find AJE at EdFEST by going to the "Education Support" group in the Expo hall and clicking on "Special Education in the District"
Please stop by and virtually visit with us!
AJE Resources to help families prepare for and navigate the MySchoolDC lottery
Just like we have in previous years, AJE is at EdFEST sharing resources, answering questions and making sure parents have what they need to advocate for their children.

Here are some of our favorite resources for families that we hope will help you navigate selecting a school for the 2021-2022 school year.
