Good morning! Is it still morning? Barely. I just had my coffee--now I'm ready to blog. 

This weekend, volunteers and staff at DCPS fanned out across the city to reach parents of incoming preschoolers. Chancellor Rhee called for the unprecedented door-knocking campaign to reach the parents of these youngest pupils to ensure they have all their immunizations and health forms filled out. This is the first year that DCPS is doing a Early Childhood Transition Week for 3- and 4-year-olds. 

The Annie E. Casey Foundation released its annual Kids Count report on indicators of childhood well being this week and the news is decidedly mixed for young children in the District.
