Hardy Middle School Enrollment and Registration Process

All families and students seeking to enroll in Hardy Middle School should be committed to a well-rounded academic experience including rigorous course offerings in all core academic classes complemented by intensive art offerings in visual art and instrumental music.

It is most important that families feel Hardy is a good fit for any incoming students.  Our vision is: The faculty, staff, students, and families of Hardy Middle School will collaborate to meet the needs and develop the strengths, talents, and interests of each individual learner within a supportive community in order to become the highest performing middle school in the District of Columbia.  This vision is realized through the following priorities:

• Providing all students access to rigorous courses and an instructional program that is responsive to their individual needs;
• Incorporating music and the arts as part of our commitment to the social, emotional, and academic development of students; and
• Using multiple sources of data to make decisions.

Should you be interested in enrolling your child at Hardy Middle School, the process varies depending on whether you are an In-Boundary family or an Out-of-Boundary family pursuant to DC Municipal Regulations, Chapter 21, Amended Section 2106 (December 14, 2005).  Hardy Middle School is part of the Out-of-Boundary Lottery for 6th through 8th Grade.   For Out-of-Boundary admission to Hardy Middle School, preference will be given to siblings of current students.

For "out-of-boundary families", the time-frame for including your student in the on-line out-of-boundary lottery is January 30, 2012 through February 27, 2012. Interested parents should go to the DCPS website for more information on this process.

The In-Boundary process is as follows:
6th, 7th and 8th Grade

• Submit a DCPS Enrollment Form, Residency Verification, and Medical Records Spring 2011
