Dear Washingtonians,
Do you have a student enrolled in a DC Public School and entering third, sixth, or ninth grade? If so, we are offering two weeks of in-person enrichment in August to help prepare your child for next school year.
Students in the Summer Bridge program will build relationships with classmates and staff as they engage in a variety of academic and social-emotional learning activities that will help them transition into a new grade or school. Summer Bridge will take place at your child's school, in accordance with DC Health guidelines.
Learn more and register for the Summer Bridge program by 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14 at dcps.dc.gov or by calling 202-442-5885.
In addition to the Summer Bridge program, registration is now open for in-person, small group summer camps, which will run from July 20 to August 28 at more than 25 rec centers. Additionally, each Monday, registration opens for Learning Hubs which are currently operating at libraries and rec centers across the city and provide young people between the ages of six and 18 safe spaces to learn, use the internet, and participate in structured activities.
If you are looking for enriching activities for a young person in your home, please consider these options.
Sincerely,
 Have you had your annual checkup with your doctor? If not, or if you have recently cancelled or postponed an appointment or treatment because you were nervous about seeking care during the pandemic, contact your physician.
This week, Mayor Bowser was joined by partners from the DC Hospital Association and the American Heart Association to send an important message: Even as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, don't delay care.
DC hospitals are safe and have special protocols in place to protect patients during emergencies and normal medical care. Furthermore, heart attacks, strokes, and cardiac arrest do not stop for COVID-19. If you are in the midst of a medical emergency, it is important to seek care immediately. Delaying medical treatment could make your health situation worse and impact your ability to recover.
So, continue to access health care, and check with friends and family members to ensure they are still getting the care they need. Learn more HERE.

 The virus is still in our city, region, and nation, and we have a shared responsibility to stop its spread. We also have a special responsibility to protect our most vulnerable neighbors.
As we continue through Phase Two, continue to:
- Wear a mask
- Social distance
- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water
- Stay home if you feel sick
These are uncertain and challenging times, but we will get through this together.
