NW PHL Public Schools

We’re excited to release this phenomenal video produced by our partners and friends at Mt. Airy Schools Coalition highlighting Houston Elementary School! Check it out: youtu.be/Gn8MFUsJYoQ @nwphlschools @PHLschools @PHLSchoolNews @PSNotebook @famforhouston

Reminder that there is a @PHLschoolboard public hearing this Thursday, 6/4, at 5pm. Sign up to speak here: philasd.org/schoolboard/se… (They're still violating their own policy by only allowing speakers 2 minutes each, but 2 min is better than being complicit through silence.) #phled

We’ve seen @PHLschools fail in repeated, devastating ways at being the anti-racist leaders our children need. Remaining silent now only serves to reinforce what students and parents already know - this district is not actually about what’s best for Black children. #phled

While students are out of school, they can still find free meals and safe spaces near them. Find out more ⬇ #PHLed bit.ly/2TPka2J

Xfinity WiFi hotspots are now available to anyone who needs them for free. For a map of Xfinity WiFi hotspots, visit xfinity.com/wifi. This and other measures from Comcast to keep folks connected are very much appreciated! corporate.comcast.com/covid-19

Official meal sites for students have not been released. We are finalizing now & will announce them at 1 p.m. today. This is a confusing time. Please avoid spreading misinformation, as rumors only heighten anxiety. Share updates only from official sources, like @PHLPublicHealth.

Wolf adds that school districts will NOT be penalized if they cannot hold the state-mandated 180 days of instruction this school year. School year could be dramatically shorter for students across the state.

BREAKING: WOLF ANNOUNCES ALL PA SCHOOLS WILL CLOSE FOR THE NEXT 10 BUSINESS DAYS

Parents who keep their children home from #phled schools because of coronavirus concerns will be able to do so without producing a doctor’s note. Extended absences now require a doctor’s note.

@PrincipalRags @jen_dianna @gunner24 @rdavilaphilasd1 Look at this. Just look. Is there anything that could warm your heart more than third and first grade reading buddies? ❤️. Our super readers loved this. Kudos to our teachers for setting this up. #goaldiggers

READ ACROSS AMERICA: Here’s a few pics of some of our Guest Readers this week! #ittakesavillage #Houstonfamily #ReadAcrossAmerica

This week I had the opportunity to take one of the fifth grade classes outside and use the outdoor classroom. We did our math lesson on whiteboards and students loved the change of location. So grateful to have this option as a teacher. @CookWissSchool @CookWissHSA #wearecookwiss

All month long our staff and students have displayed their Black History Month doors.. here a few!

Great detailed coverage of the CSPR process from Bill Hangley @PSNotebook ! Highly recommended to better understand the whole process (the article is much broader than the headline indicates). #phled thenotebook.org/articles/2020/…

We are so proud of our Super Scientists!!! Take a look at the students who placed first, second and third at our annual Science Fair.
