KIPP DC Lead Academy

We got upper school ready for testing with a pep rally today!

Lead Academy students create (and modeled!) Carnaval Crowns to celebrate Fun Friday!

Mascot elections are next Tuesday! The specials team knows who to vote for… do you?

There will be no vampires 🧛‍♂️ this Halloween at LEAD! First graders from Miss T’s class planted an entire bed of garlic 🧄 in our school garden.

This weeks top ST Math puzzle solvers! Gelila, Arlei, Roy, and Naomi! Great job scholars!

Parents, if you’re looking for a way to support your scholar at home, ST Math can be done on the computer at home as well.

Hey Lead families. School is closed tomorrow (August 26, 2022) for teacher development. See you Monday!

The school garden is coming back to life! Just wait to see what has grown when we return in August 🥬🥕🍅🫑🧅🥒

We’ve made the decision to cancel virtual instruction tomorrow, Thursday, January 7.

We know the events at the U.S. Capitol today and what may occur tonight are deeply troubling and want to ensure our community has time to take care of themselves and their loved ones. We are disgusted when we think about the contrast between how our country is responding to this act of domestic terrorism vs the peaceful protests of this past summer. The pain and anxiety being felt in our community is real. Hate, racism, and insurrection have no place in the District of Columbia, our home.

At this time our meal distribution sites scheduled for tomorrow will be postponed to Friday. We’ll follow up tomorrow with updated information.

We will reach out tomorrow morning with information on mental health resources available if you or your child want to connect with a KIPP DC mental health provider.
