Welcome to Phoebe Hearst Elementary School!
Our Pre-K through 5th grade school in Northwest Washington is the only DC public school with Pre-K and Kindergarten programs accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). We offer an excellent academic program, a multi-cultural student body and teaching staff, small class sizes, and attention to the arts, wellness, and the environment. We're very proud of our outstanding leadership, experienced teachers, involved neighbors, and happy kids! Please browse our site to learn more about our school.
What's Happening at Hearst:
Please join the PTA for the first meeting of year on Wednesday, 9/8, at 6:00. At the meeting, you will hear from principal Kerlina, meet the new committee chairs, vote on a preliminary budget, learn more about updates on PTA governance and structure, and hear about enrichment opportunities planned for this fall. Free babysitting (and pizza for the kids) is provided by the PTA at all meetings; send an email to Telithia at telithiaa@hotmail.com to reserve your child's space.
The first weeks of school are here, parents and students, and if you haven't had a chance to start (or finish) your school shopping, check out the various teacher supply lists, so that you can create a shopping list! Would you like to have a green start to your child's school year? The EPA has some great suggestions, so click here to see what they have to say!
Parents, please visit the main office page for news, documents, and guidelines. And don't forget to read Principal Kerlina's first installment of "Principal's Corner" as he shares his thoughts with families about the beginning of the new school year!
Keep your eyes and ears open as we begin our new Revolution Foods meal program which will replace Chartwell's. Hearst was one of only a handful of schools in DCPS selected to take part in this exciting pilot. We look forward to a new year with healthful foods and sustainable food preparation and storage! Check out the menus for breakfast and lunch, as they look very tasty!
This year, the Hearst Green Team is excited to expand on its Terracycle recycling fundraiser, and keep even more trash out of our landfills while raising money for the school. Now, you can also recycle empty glue bottles and sticks, chip bags, and empty writing utensils. For more on our recycling efforts, visit our Green Page.
Also on the green scene, Marni Barron, Hearst's Instructional Coach, is spearheading a Hearst Garden initiative. Take a look at our garden page to see events coming in the next two months!
Phoebe Hearst is located at 3950 37th St. NW 20008, 202-282-0106
