Please note that the school does not need hard copies of your forms or paperwork unless it is helpful to you. It is preferred to submit documents online at Aspen Logon (dc.gov) or by email to lafayette.dcps@k12.dc.gov whenever possible.

If you are interested in enrolling your child at Lafayette, the process varies depending on whether your student resides in or out of Lafayette’s boundary lines.

To discover if your student is in or out of our boundary, please check your address at https://enrolldcps.dc.gov/node/41.

In-Boundary families are guaranteed a spot at Lafayette in grades Kindergarten through 5th. Out-of-Boundary families must apply to the DCPS Lottery at myschooldc.org. PK4 families who are both In and Out-of Boundary must apply to the lottery at myschooldc.org.
