Next Meeting: SIT Kick-Off Meeting - late fall 2025 or early winter 2026
Project Overview
DCPS and District Leadership recently announced plans to convert the former Department of Recreation (DPR) Headquarters building, located at 3149 16th Street NW, into a new Bancroft Early Childhood Education (ECE) Annex. Currently, we anticipate construction to renovate this building will be completed during summer 2027, in time for School Year 2027-28.
In the interim, Bancroft ECE students will be housed temporarily at the Sharpe Health School, a DCPS swing space located in Ward 6. In order to proactively address overutilization at Bancroft Elementary School, DCPS will host Bancroft's Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 students at Sharpe during School Years 2025-26 and 2026-27. DCPS will provide swing space transportation between the Bancroft ES and Sharpe buildings for pick-up and drop-off. Before and after-care will continue to be hosted at the Bancroft ES building.
