Details: 

Hosted by the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education (DME), EdFEST is a free, one-stop-shopping fair where families can talk with representatives from schools city-wide and learn how to apply for them through the My School DC application process, which opens on December 15. Families can also take advantage of a variety of free services and activities on-site, including flu shots for adults and immunization and dental screenings for children, administered through the DC Department of Health (DOH). Sports activities will be presented by the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), along with story time hosted by the DC Public Library (DPL).

EdFEST will also premiere a new School Finder tool, developed by My School DC in partnership with the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO). The School Finder, available in English and Spanish at find.myschooldc.org, allows families, for the first time, to search for their neighborhood in-boundary school, while at the same time explore all the other public school options available to them. The tool allows families to search by program, location and grade, and also features information about the new school boundaries for the 2015-2016 school year and phase-in policies.  Admission and parking are free.

EdFEST sponsors include Verizon and Events DC. Media partners include DCW50, El Zol 107.9, Washington Parent Magazine, WETA Kids, and WPGC 95.5.  Admission and parking are free. Take Metro to Stadium-Armory on the Orange/Blue/Silver lines or Metrobus routes B2, D6, E32, 96 and 97. For more information on My School DC and EdFEST please visit www.myschooldc.org.
