REPORT CARD CONFERENCES

Parents, a reminder that next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are report card conferences and that school will be closed at 11:49 on those 3 days (23rd, 24th, and 25th).  All grades can be accessed through the parent portal or you can see them by having your child log into their school account and their grades are in their infinite campus.

We are having report card conferences on the afternoons of the 23rd, 24th and 25th.   Please contact your teacher to set up an appointment to talk to them.  Please make sure we have updated contact information for you and your family. We are still missing primary emails for some families.

Covid-19 Testing and Information

The SDP has determined to remain with virtual school until further notice.
As the school’s nurse, I can help answer medical questions or concerns on any acute or chronic medical conditions. I can also address concerns or questions, you may have, as it relates to COVID-19.
For example: where can people get free COVID-19 testing, what are the symptoms of COVID-19 or does a parent have to notify the nurse/teacher if their student has symptoms of COVID-19; or have tested positive for COVID-19?

COVID-19 SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN & TEENS

The District in consultation with the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) has established protocols to respond to suspected and positive cases of COVID-19 to maintain the health and safety of the school community.

Resources for Crisis

In the wake of the tragic killing of Walter Wallace, Jr., The College of Physicians of Philadelphia continues to unconditionally state that Black Lives Matter. As an educational and cultural institution dedicated to serving the Philadelphia community, we are deeply saddened by yet another avoidable deadly confrontation with police and urge everyone to approach issues of mental health with compassion and not violence.

Embracing our role and responsibility as a public health institution, we offer the resources below as a way for each individual to care for their loved ones, neighbors, and friends who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. At a time when many of us feel powerless, all we can do is care for those around us in the hopes that we emerge from this difficult chapter in our history as a stronger, more inclusive, and just community.

Remind App and Class Dojo

With the way the world is today we are trying to find more ways to stay in touch with our families.  To the end we are using 2 different services to help communication.

Remind

The remind app is a way for us to send out quick updates if anything is going on.  You can join multiple ways.

1. On a smart phone go to rmd.at/Penny6 to join remind
2. text @Penny6 to 81010

Class Dojo

If you have a teacher that has Class Dojo and you are following them you are already a part of this great system.  If you wish to join go to https://www.classdojo.com/ and register as a parent and look for Samuel Pennypacker School.

Any other issues you can email us at pennypacker@philasd.org and someone will get to you.
