Teaching was a natural decision for @jlesdc's Ms. Joanna Ramirez. When she was in music class, it provided peace & safety—a feeling she wants to replicate for students. “There’s nothing better than having students who are excited & willing to learn new concepts.” #ThankATeacher

Enrollment is now open for SY24-25! Families, please review your @MySchoolDC lottery results and enroll in your matched school or re-enroll in your DCPS school. Secure your spot today ➡️ enrolldcps.dc.gov.
