Message from the Principal

Interim marking period reports will come home tomorrow  with your child(ren).  Please review and acknowledge receipt as instructed by your child's teacher.

You can also log into the parent/student SDP protocol to view it in the backpack section.


Winter Concert on Wednesday at 6:30pm is almost sold out.  We only have 36 adult and 6 child tickets available. If you plan to attend the show, please purchase your tickets before we sell out.  If we do have tickets available at the door, they will be $10 cash only. 


Ticket Orders will be sent home tomorrow with your youngest child. It will be an 8.5"x11 yellow paper MTK ticket order packing slip.  Show this at the door to enter.  


Doors will open at 6:30pm on the blacktop.  Performers report at 6pm to the front entrance.


On Thursday from 9-10am we will have Picture Retake Day as well as take pictures of any students who missed Picture Day.  If you would like a retake and you already purchased a package, please have your child bring it on Thursday.  


Friday is a 12:09pm dismissal.  Please make arrangements to pick up your child on time.  


If you are free for a few hours on Tuesday, December 17, we could use help with Operation Snowball. The Eagles have partnered with the district to ensure every student receives a gift.  Sign Up HERE if you can help with gift distribution.


The following is the annual message sent on behalf of Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities:

 

Every year, we as a district need to notify parents of students currently in attendance, or eligible students currently in attendance, of their rights under the FERPA Act. The notice must inform parents or eligible students that they have the right to opt out. 

Please alert your families that The School District of Philadelphia has given families to Friday, December 13th, 2024 to opt out.  For more information they can check their schools website or the district website at https://www.philasd.org/studentrights/#resources.


Have a great week!
