The Calendar of The School District of Philadelphia
September 2008 to July 2009
2008-2009
SRC CHAIRWOMAN’S MESSAGE
Dear Parents, Community Members and Staff,
The School Reform Commission was immensely pleased with the June
2008 news that The School District of Philadelphia has achieved its sixth
year in a row of improved test scores. Now, it is time to build on that
foundation.
To further support the efforts of our educators, students and parents, in
October 2007 the SRC announced its overarching priorities. They include:
• Put resources back into the schools;
• Reduce class size, starting in our poorest performing schools;
• Make sure that every student is exposed to music and art, since
this is a “must have,” not a “frill”, for a well-rounded education;
• Expand library services.
The School District budget for 2008-2009 reflects resources for all of
these priorities.
We have reduced class size in kindergarten through grade 3 in 23 of our
struggling schools. Research shows the biggest impact in reduced class
size is in the early grades. Therefore, the District at this time will target its
resources there. However, this is just the first phase of what the SRC
expects to be a multi-year commitment to expand reduced class size to
other grades and additional Philadelphia public schools.
Again, research clearly shows the powerful effect of student exposure to
the arts. That is why we have provided additional funding this year so that
art and music will touch every child.
Students benefit from having libraries where trained staff are available to
assist them. That is why the SRC supported resources to ensure that
libraries are adequately staffed.
The SRC has delivered on its promise to support the priorities it outlined
last fall. As we embark on a new school year, we will advance these
priorities along with our overarching goal to raise academic achievement
for all students. With these resources in place and with your ongoing
support, we look forward to another year of progress for our children.
Sincerely,
Sandra Dungee Glenn
Chairwoman
School Reform Commission

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear School District of Philadelphia Community,
School District of Philadelphia Superintendent, Dr. Arlene C. Ackerman, has more than
30 years of experience in leading large,
diverse urban public school systems.
A new school year is a time for new beginnings, a
fresh start. As your new Superintendent I have
five important core values which I hope you will
embrace.
1. Children come first.
2. Parents are our partners.
3. Victory is in the classroom, facilitated by a
strong instructional leader.
4. Leadership and accountability are the keys to
success.
5. It takes the engagement of the entire community to ensure the success of its public
schools.
Students, you are our first priority and we want
you to succeed both academically and in life. Our
goal is to ensure that you receive the academic
supports needed for a successful transition from
childhood to adulthood. We believe in you and
your unlimited potential.
Think positive! This is your year to achieve
straight A’s, perfect attendance, become captain
of a sports or academic team. So study hard and
embrace every learning experience with enthusiasm. Remember that smart is something you get.
Clem Murray/Inquirer
Arlene Ackerman is surrounded by the fifth graders at Fox Chase
Elementary School, the first school she visited on her first day of work
as the new schools superintendent.
committed to preparing all students for a lifetime of
learning.
As I prepare for my first full year as Superintendent,
I am truly excited about working with all of you as
partners. Please join me this school year in mobilizing all available resources to focus on the needs of
our students. All of Philadelphia’s children deserve
a quality education. Let’s make this vision a reality.
Respectfully,
Parents, we see you as our partners. Your active
participation in your child’s education is essential.
We must work together to ensure our students
receive support both at home and in the classroom. The School District of Philadelphia’s many
talented teachers, administrators, and staff are
Arlene C. Ackerman, Ed.D.
Superintendent
The School District of Philadelphia
Superintendent of Schools
Dr. Ackerman, who assumed her duties in
Philadelphia in June 2008, came to the
School District from the Teachers College of
Columbia University, where she served as
Director of the Urban Education Leaders
Program and Chairperson of the Superintendents and Scholars Symposium. The Urban
Leaders Education Program is the College’s
largest doctoral program for public-school
leaders. She joined Teachers College’s
Education Leadership faculty as the Christian
A. Johnson Professor of Outstanding Educational Practice in 2006.
Dr. Ackerman also is Superintendent in
Residence of Los Angeles-based Broad
Center, where she facilitates and directs the
Broad Superintendents Academy. The
Academy is a ten-month executive management program designed to prepare CEOs
and senior executives from business, government, and education backgrounds to lead
urban public school systems.
Prior to 2006, Dr. Ackerman was Superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School
District and the District of Columbia Public
Schools. During her tenure in San Francisco,
the city’s public schools—with 62,000
students and 117 schools—attained five
consecutive years of improved achievement
for all groups of students while also holding
the distinction as the highest-performing
large urban school district in the state of
California during the last two years of her
superintendency.

Ready for School
The beginning of the school year is an exciting
time for families.
To start the year off right, help your children
establish patterns now that will lead to success:
• Make sure your children get enough sleep
each night.
• Allow plenty of time in the morning for
students to eat a healthy breakfast.
• Provide your children with the proper supplies
so they will be well equipped as soon as they
walk through the classroom door.
• Encourage your students to do homework as it
is assigned, and not to put it off.
• Contact your child’s school and speak with his
or her teacher and principal.
Also, think of ways you can become more involved in your children’s education. Each school
has a growing need for parental participation, and
there are a number of ways we can help you
become involved. For more information about
opportunities for parents to help their children
succeed in school, please call the Office of Public
Engagement at 215-400-4040.

ANTI-TRUANCY
If children are not in school, they can’t
learn. It is critically important that
children come to school, on time,
every day.
Truancy and not attending class are
some of the first signs of trouble.
When young people routinely skip
school, they are indirectly telling their
parents, school staff and the community they need help.
What’s more, students who become
truant and eventually drop out frequently set themselves up for a
lifetime of struggles.
In an effort to see that every child
attends school, The School District of
Philadelphia partners with local
community-based organizations who
hire and train Parent Truancy Officers
(PTOs). The PTOs work with their
assigned schools to contact the
parents/guardians of truant students
by telephone. PTOs also meet with
parents/guardians in their homes and
at school, and make referrals to
agencies that may help address family
situations that are contributing to
students’ absences.
In addition to the powerful incentive of
supporting their children’s education,
there is another incentive for parents
Anastasiya Bachmanova, Central High School, 2008
to make sure their children attend
school, on time, every day. Parents
are legally responsible to ensure that
their children are attending school.
BOOK OF THE MONTH for October

Emergency
Preparedness
school has a current phone number
for emergency contacts. There is a
handy form on page 5 of this calendar that you may fill out, cut out and
send to the school if your emergency
contact information, including your
phone number, changes.
You Should Prepare at Home
Students who attend School District
of Philadelphia schools are with their
teachers and principals for 180 or
more days during an academic year.
The School District takes seriously its
responsibility for your children while
they are in our schools and on our
properties.
One of these responsibilities is to be
prepared for emergencies. To do this,
every school has an emergency plan
and the District has an overall emergency plan as well.
We’re Prepared at School
There are different types of emergency responses which a school may
need to activate. In some instances,
students and staff may have to leave
the building for a period of time. In
other cases, students and school
staff may need to go into and remain
in classrooms and close doors and
windows, with no one being permitted to leave or enter the building until
the “all clear” is indicated. In the
latter situation, persons outside the
building, including parents/guardians,
will not be able to gain entry to the
school. The District asks that parents/
guardians understand that the District
is doing this to keep their children
safe.
The District and its schools can send
out messages by telephone to
parents to alert them to emergency
situations impacting schools. It is
very important that your child’s
The School District works with the
City of Philadelphia and with representatives of other communities in
our region to plan for emergencies
that may affect the Philadelphia area.

A respectful caring school community
doesn’t “just happen.”
In fact, its creation is a deliberate
effort shared by teachers, administrators, students and the entire community. The reward of these efforts is
priceless—young people who have
developed into thoughtful, considerate and kind human beings.
PROMOTING RESPECT
AND PREVENTING VIOLENCE
At The School District of Philadelphia
we think respect is best taught by
example and quality teaching, in our
school communities, respect and
responsibility are part of our core
values and everyday interactions.
We place a high priority on helping
our students learn to resolve conflicts
with others in a positive way. Further,
our students learn that the purpose of
education incudes developing
qualities such as respect and caring
for self and others, while making a
commitment to equality.
School District students have taken
the lead in developing programs for
making their schools conducive
places for teaching and learning.
One outstanding example is
Overbrook High School’s Panther
Peace “Core,” a student-created and
student-driven service organization.
This successful anti-violence, peer
mediation group is now being replicated at other District high schools.
BOOK OF THE MONTH for January
Elementary (K-2): Just Another Ordinary Day by
Rod Clement.
Extraordinary, fanciful drawings illustrate Amanda’s
“ordinary day” at school, showing her science
teacher as a giant insect, a classmate as an
extraterrestrial, and more. At the end of the day, she
cuddles up for a story with her cat, a lion named
Fluffy. The plain text shows great contrast with the
fantastic drawings.
Elementary (3-5): You Want Women To Vote, Lizzie
Stanton? by Jean Fritz.
This biography of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
underscores the life of a woman far ahead of her
times. Although Lizzie Stanton did not live to see the
total fruits of her efforts, she was an outspoken
fighter for women’s suffrage and fought tirelessly for
equality for everyone, men and women, black and
white. This selection, with author’s notes, a
bibliography, and an index, is an excellent tool for
intermediate grade research.
Middle School (6-8): Misty of Chincoteague by
Marguerite Henry.
This story is based on true incidents. Paul and
Maureen help capture a wild mare and her colt on
Chincoteague Island off the coast of Virginia. The
history of how the horses came to run wild on this
island is fascinating, and intermediate readers will
want to find the island on a map and perhaps
research how it has changed in the past 50-plus
years.
High School (9-12): Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.
During his wanderings from a Southern college to
New York’s Harlem, an African American man
becomes involved in a series of adventures involving

Celebrating Diversity
At The School District of Philadelphia, diversity isn’t just another
word; it’s our culture. The School District serves more than 167,000
children, many of whose first language is not English. Our student
body is made up of children from countries around the globe.
For some of our students and their families, their first formal
experience with the School District may be through the special
Immigrant Registration Process held during the summer months,
where staff is available to assist the registrants in their first languages.
The School District, through its Parent Support and Customer
Service Center, provides telephonic translation services to parents,
students and other callers who communicate more comfortably in
languages other than English.
Parents who speak the languages listed below may call the
appropriate number indicated. Parents will receive a return call
from someone who speaks his/her language by the next
business day.

BOOK OF THE MONTH for February
Elementary (K-2): Lion’s Whiskers: An Ethiopian Folktale by
Nancy Day Raines.
In this tale from the Amhara people of Ethiopia, a patient and
loving stepmother wants to have a relationship with her angry
stepson. A wise man tells her she needs to get the whisker of a
lion to do this. She then learns to approach her stepson
carefully, lovingly and with patience. Grifalconi uses bright
colors and textures in the collage illustrations to create a variety
of moods for the different settings of the story.
Elementary (3-5): Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by
Deborah Hopkinson.
Twelve-year-old Clara, a slave in the Big House, has two dreams
– being with her mother once again and being free. Careful
listening and learning about the Underground Railroad
convinces Clara that she can piece a quilt that can actually be
used as a map of the Underground Railroad’s route to freedom.
Clara escapes but leaves the quilt as a map to guide other
slaves to the Underground Railroad.
Middle School (6-8): From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil
E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg.
Claudia decides to run away to teach her parents a lesson in
“Claudia appreciation.” She takes her brother along and,
together, they hide and live for a week in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. While there, Claudia discovers a statue so
beautiful that she must find out the identity of the artist. Her
quest leads her to the statue’s former owner, Mrs. Basil E.
Frankweiler.
High School (9-12): Master Harold and the Boys by Athol
Fugard.
In South Africa in 1950, a young white boy, Master Harold, is left
with two black servants. He is still in high school while “the
boys” are forty-five. He is growing out of his innocent
acceptance of them as human beings but nonetheless as
inferiors. The story of their relationship is an exploration of
apartheid and the development of children’s attitudes in such an
environment.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
The School District of Philadelphia became a national
pacesetter in August 2006, when it adopted the nation’s
most comprehensive school wellness policy. Among other
things, this policy banned sodas and sugar-laden drinks
from District schools.
School Breakfasts, Lunches and Snacks
For the first time, beginning on September 4, 2008, the
District’s Division of Food Services will begin serving free
breakfast to all students, grades K through 12. This newly
expanded feature is just one part of the District’s ongoing
service of breakfast and lunch on school days.
Many School District students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. Parents/guardians may apply online at
www.compass.state.pa.us. Or, you may obtain a Household
Meal Benefit Application from your child’s school. Food
Services will once again provide free after-school snacks
and dinners, and breakfast and lunch on Saturdays, for
students who require additional academic instruction time
beyond the regular school day.
Nutrition Education
The School District’s Nutrition Education Program offers
K-12 classroom lessons on topics including: the importance
of breakfast; healthy snacks; and 5-a-day fruits and vegetables. One of the program’s most visible outreach endeavors is Chew This!, an original television series produced by
the District’s cable television station, PSTV Philadelphia 52.
In each series program, students visit a city restaurant
whose cuisine reflects the diversity of Philadelphia. They
learn about dishes and beverages with which they may not
be familiar, and have a chance to taste these healthy menu
items. To view the PSTV schedule to learn when the next
episode of Chew This! will air, please visit www.philasd.org/
offices/pstv and click on PSTV Top Programs.
BOOK OF THE MONTH for March
Elementary (K-2): My Life with the Wave by
Catherine Cowan.
A boy befriends a wave and brings it home,
where they romp together until the onset of
winter storms turns it bleak and angry. The
wave is returned to the sea in frozen form,
and the boy dreams of a new predicament.
Acrylic and oil illustrations complement the
story.
Elementary (3-5): Pony Express by Steven
Kroll.
A lively, fast-paced text and soft-colored oil
painting illustrations bring the excitement of
the Pony Express to the reader. Although this
form of mail express lasted only 18 months, it
was an important step in establishing postal
service to the West. A map of the Pony
Express route, historical photographs, author’s
notes, a bibliography, and an index are
included. The book can be used for
enrichment for the history curriculum.
Middle School (6-8): Ella Enchanted by Gail
Carson Levine.
This fairy tale adaptation presents Ella
(Cinderella) with a very unusual problem. A
gift from one of her godmothers was
obedience, and now Ella’s life is miserable
because she must follow every command,
even if it is contrary to her wishes. When a
young prince appears, Ella hopes that he can
help her break the spell that holds her.
High School (9-12): Sonnets by William
Shakespeare.
This definitive collection contains 154
sonnets, an introduction, guidance to imagery,
language of each sonnet, classroom activities
and an index of first lines. The date of origin is
1597.

LITERACY
“Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.”
rd
Harry S. Truman, the 33 President of the United States, offered that thought.
Indeed, reading is the building block for all learning, and literacy has never been more important than in
today’s competitive, fast-paced world.
Parents, educators and employers all know that students need a solid foundation of reading and writing skills to prepare them for future studies and
productive lives. Here at The School District of Philadelphia we are
consistently using the most effective strategies that we can offer for
teaching reading and writing.

Ashanti by Gerald McDermott.
!n this traditional tale from West Africa, the spider
Anansi sets out on a long journey. Threatened by

Philip Pullman.

by Thomas Pynchon.
The extravagances of 1960s popular
culture are parodied in this tale of
symbolic meaning and meaninglessness. Characters sport satiric names,
and the action is broad, including
mature situations and elements of
surprising subtlety.

Arts and Music
The School Reform Commission (SRC)
and Superintendent Arlene Ackerman
recognize that exposure to the arts and
music helps young people excel. At The
School District of Philadelphia we strive
to bring the highest quality experiences
with the arts and music to our students through our talented teachers, through our partners in the Philadelphia
arts and music community, and through artists-in-residence.
The District is proud to have secondary schools such as the
new Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush, the Philadelphia High
School for the Creative and Performing Arts, the Girard
Academic Music Program, and Kensington High School for
the Creative and Performing Arts. Meredith Elementary
School also has an arts-focused curriculum.
While we proudly feature throughout our student population
artists, musicians and vocalists who demonstrate their
talents at high levels of creativity, the School District values
the artistic expression of every one of our students.
Their efforts are highlighted throughout the academic year
in the “Young Artists” system-wide art exhibit, the All-City
High School and Middle School Music Festivals, the All-City
Jazz and Dance Festivals, and numerous arts festivals
sponsored at the regional level.
Our students’ works are displayed throughout this calendar.
We thank them and their parents for giving permission to
use this art to illustrate your calendar.
BOOK OF THE MONTH for May
Elementary (K-2): Olivia by Ian Falconer.
This book follows high-energy piglet Olivia through her daily
activities, which include singing songs loudly, creating art on
walls, and building a sand sculpture that closely resembles the
Chrysler Building in New York City. She excels at all kinds of
things, especially wearing people out. Humorous illustrations
are black and white with splashes of red. This selection is
excellent to read aloud.
Elementary (3-5): Drinking Gourd: A Story of the Underground
Railroad by F. N. Monjo.
Tommy, the son of an Underground Railroad conductor,
deliberately misleads the marshal and his posse in order to
help his father lead an African American family to Canada,
where they will find their first taste of freedom. This selection
is set in mid-nineteenth-century America.
Middle School (6-8): Black Ships Before Troy: The Story of the
Iliad by Rosemary Sutcliff.
This retelling of the Iliad, the epic poem about the fall of Troy,
describes the people, places and events in terms familiar to
today’s readers. As an alternative to the original version, this
version is useful for the study of ancient Greek civilization.
High School (9-12): The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong
Kingston.
The American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants lives
within the traditions and fears of the Chinese past and the
realities of the alien modern American culture. The northern
California city of Stockton is the backdrop for this multicultural
tale.

SumMER PROGRAMS
The break from regular school activities should be a
time when meaningful learning can continue in
order to prepare students for graduation or for the
return to school in the fall.
Over the summer, The School District of
Philadelphia offers an array of learning
options both for remediation and
for enrichment.
Remediation
Enrichment
There are classes for:
• Twelfth graders who need one or two credits to
graduate;
• Students in grades 1 through 11 who have failed
one or more core subjects.
There are enrichment classes for regular students,
such as art and music camps and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as well as enrichment offerings
for English Language Learners (ELLs).
These offerings enable students who complete
them to progress to the next grade with their
classmates in the fall, or, in the case of twelfth
graders, to move on to post-secondary
opportunities that await them.
All of these options provide students with a way to
expand their talents and to pass the summer days
in constructive and enjoyable knowledge-based
activities.
BOOK OF THE MONTH for July
Elementary (K-2): Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman.
Grace loves to read stories and act them out. When her class
decides to stage a production of Peter Pan, other children say
she can’t be Peter - because she’s a girl and because she’s
black. However, Ma and Nana say she can do anything she
sets her mind on, and Grace proves that they are right. This
book is good for discussing self-image and promoting
imagination.
Elementary (3-5): If A Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks
by Faith Ringgold.
The bus’s perspective is used to recount the biography of Rosa
Parks, the African American woman and civil rights worker
whose refusal to give up her seat on a bus led to a boycott
that lasted for more than a year in Montgomery. Alabama.
Teacher support with explanation and background may be
needed when using this text.
Middle School (6-8): Passager by Jane Yolen.
Yolen writes three books about Merlin, the wizard of King
Arthur’s court, when he is young. PASSAGER is followed by
HOBBY (1996) and MERLIN (1997).
High School (9-12): The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas
Hardy.
Michael Henchard, an unemployed farmhand, gets drunk and
sells his wife and baby daughter. Years later when he is the
Mayor of Casterbridge, his past returns to haunt him, and he
reverts to old behaviors.

FAQs
Can my child be barred from
commencement exercises,
a graduation trip and/or
the prom?
Some students, due to their actions in
and out of school, may lose the privilege
of participating in commencement
exercises, graduation trips, proms and
other special activities. For more information on this topic, and the specific criteria,
please refer to your child’s 2008-2009
school handbook, Student Code of
Conduct or contact the school principal.
If I won’t be home at the time, can
my child stay at the school after
the school day ends?
Parents need to exercise responsibility for
their children’s welfare and whereabouts
after school. Make standing contingency
arrangements with a relative or a neighbor
to be used in case of an emergency.
Make sure your child knows where to go
after school if you or another responsible
adult will not be at home after school
hours. The school will attempt to reach
you using the information you provide.
The School Police Dispatcher will notify
the City Department of Human Services
(DHS) or the Philadelphia Police Department if negligence or abuse is indicated.
What is the process for
home schooling a child?
To begin the process, contact your
Regional Office (see pages 37 and 38).
The documents you will be asked to
provide to complete this process include:
a copy of the parent’s high school
diploma; immunization records for the
child; the proposed curriculum; and a
signed and notarized affidavit.
What are alternative
discipline schools?
They are schools with structured environments, designed to teach students
appropriate and responsible behavior. The
program models address the reason for
the referral. Parents cannot enroll their
children in this program. Students are
referred to alternative discipline schools
as a result of Code of Student Conduct
Level 2 violations. Alternative discipline
schools feature a higher ratio of adult
staff members to students; behavior
modification and character education
teaching that supports personal responsibility for behavior infractions; additional
support services for students and their
families; and an academic program
that is aligned with the standards of both
The School District of Philadelphia and
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
What is the School District’s
attendance policy?
The School District of Philadelphia is
committed to providing a quality
education. A critical
component of achievement is regular and
prompt attendance. It
is mandated by the
Pennsylvania State
Compulsory School Attendance law which requires:
• Students attend school
every day on time.
• Parents/guardians notify
the school when their child
misses any instructional
time. (Parents/guardians will
be notified from the local
school by phone and in
writing after their child’s unlawful
absences.)
• Students must submit a note from the
parent/guardian to their teacher/advisor
stating the date and reason for the
absence immediately upon their return
to school but no later than 3 days after
their return. (The District records lawful
(excused) and unlawful (illegal) absences daily in compliance with the
law.) A child who is absent from school
without a valid written reason is
considered truant. If a child is absent
unlawfully (truant) the following events
will take place:
• Parents/guardians will receive telephone and written notification, be
invited to attend a parent teacher
conference, be invited to participate in
a Comprehensive Student Assistance
Process (CSAP) Team meeting, or
receive a visit from Parent Truancy
Officers to determine the nature of the
absences.
• At sixteen (16) or more unlawful
(unexcused) absences a referral will be
forwarded to the Department of Human
Services, Office of Truancy and
Delinquency Prevention and to Truancy
Court.
• The student as well as the parent/
guardian will be compelled to comply
with the procedures and orders of the
Family Court’s Truancy Program.
• Parents/guardians may be subject to a
fine, community service or parenting
classes.
Under what circumstances can
I transfer my child out of the
neighborhood school?
The School District has separate processes by which children may be transferred to schools other than their
neighborhood schools.
Extenuating
Circumstances
A parent may obtain from
the neighborhood school a
copy of the form EH-36E, fill it
out and return it to the neighborhood
school, along with documentation that:
there is physical/psychological danger to
the child in the current school; there is a
School District Serious Incident report
that justifies this move; there is a record
of past efforts by the school and parents
to remedy the situation, with valid
39
documentation that other alternatives are
not available; and the request is for the
current school year.
School assignments will be made by the
Regional Office. Parents cannot request a
specific school. If a transfer is approved
and accepted by the parent, the transfer
is permanent unless the parent, at some
point in the future, wants the child
returned to the neighborhood school. A
parent who is not informed of the results
of the request within two weeks of
submitting the completed and documented form to the home school should
follow up by calling the Regional Office.
Persistently
Dangerous Schools
Each year, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania releases a list of persistently
dangerous schools. Parents of children
enrolled in a school on this list will receive
written notice from the District and may
apply any time during the school year for
a transfer to another school not on the
list. To apply, obtain form EH-36E from
your child’s school and indicate that your
child attends a persistently dangerous
school in the section entitled “Reason for
Request.” In the District, the highest
priorities for transfers are children who
have been victims or witnesses of
criminal activity and who attend a school
on the persistently dangerous schools list.
School assignments will be made by the
Office of Student Placement. Parents may
not request a specific school.
Voluntary Transfers
The District accepts applications for
voluntary transfers, beginning the third
Monday in September and running
through the last Friday in October, for the
next school year. Students, including
English language learners and children
with disabilities, may apply at this time to:
special admission middle schools, and
other neighborhood elementary and
middle schools within the School District
of Philadelphia. Parents may obtain the
Voluntary Transfer Program Elementary/
Middle School Pupil Transfer Application
at the current school and at the Office of
Student Placement.
High School Applications
and Transfers
During the same fall period—September
15 through October 31, 2008—the District
will accept Voluntary Transfer Program
High School Admission applications from
current 8th graders for their high school
placements for the following year. At this
time applications are also accepted from
students in grades 9 through 11 for
consideration for placement in high
schools outside their neighborhoods, in
citywide admission high schools and
programs, and in special admission high
schools. Current students may obtain the
Voluntary Transfer Program High School
Admission application from their school
counselor.
Students not enrolled in a District school
may obtain a Voluntary Transfer Program
High School Admission application from
the Office of Student Placement.
For more information about
extenuating circumstances transfers,
persistently dangerous schools transfers,
voluntary transfers and the high school
admission process, call the Office of
Student Placement, 215-400-4290.
School Choice
The Federal No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act
The act established a school choice
process for parents of children whose
schools have been placed in “school
improvement” status. In the School
District of Philadelphia, parents from
schools in any level of “school improvement” receive a letter from the District in
the fall explaining what this means. Then,
in January, schools in “school improvement” send home School Choice parent
packets that include a cover letter, a
schedule of information sessions for
parents about this process, and the list
of the schools which may be considered
to receive School Choice transfers. There
are no District special admission or
criteria-based programs or charter
schools on this list. Parents obtain a
copy of transfer form EH-35C from the
child’s current school, complete the
form, and return it to the current school
by the cutoff date stated in the letter in
SAFE/Bully Hotline
215-400-SAFE (7233)
Call this 24-hour hotline to
report instances of bullying
or harassment, or dangerous
conditions in or around schools.
Calls may be
anonymous.
Information/School
Closings Hotline
215-400-INFO (4636)
Call this 24-hour number to
hear announcements and
breaking information about
circumstances such as school
closings or early dismissals due
to inclement weather.
the packet; there is a 4-5 week period
during which parents may file an
EH-35C to transfer their children to any
school on the School Choice transfer list
in the packet. Filing a request does not
guarantee that a transfer request will be
approved. In accordance with the law, in
considering requests for School Choice
transfers, the District gives highest
priority to the lowest achieving students
from low-income families. For more
information about the NCLB School
Choice transfer process, call the Title I
Office, 215-400-4220.
Charter Schools
With a commitment to empowering
communities and dramatically enhancing
school choice, the School Reform
Commission has been a national leader in
the creation of charter schools for the
parents and students of Philadelphia.
The SRC has taken this District from 37
charters in 2002 to 63 fully operational,
40
FamilyNet
Philadelphia public school parents are able to check their children’s
educational progress online through a School District of Philadelphia
initiative called FamilyNet. FamilyNet is available system-wide,
serving the parents of approximately 167,000 students in all
Philadelphia public schools.
The kinds of student information that a parent or guardian can review
include: the student’s enrollment and academic history; report cards;
scores from the District’s periodic benchmark tests, and the analysis
of those scores; and scores from the PSSA and other standardized
tests, and the analysis of those results. In addition, one of the most
exciting features of FamilyNet is that it provides instructional activities for parents and children, including individualized resources
based on benchmark testing.
independent charter schools today. More
are expected to open in the fall of 2009.
How do I get my child
evaluated if I suspect my child is
eligible for special education?
We encourage all parents to explore the
wide variety of school management and
program offerings that the District and the
SRC have made available so that parents
can find the best educational environment
for their children. To learn more about
charters, or to view a list of currently open
charter schools, please visit the District
web site at www.philasd.org, click on
“Site Map” and then select “Charter
School Information” from the list of
options.
If you believe that your child may have a
disability, you may request an evaluation
of your child at any time by putting the
request in writing, and giving it to any
professional employee or administrator at
your child’s school. Your child’s school is
obligated to adhere to the 60-day timeline
for completion of the evaluation, once the
school receives the permission-toevaluate form signed by the parent.
Parents may also call the District’s
Charter School Office at 215-400-4090.
Under what circumstances can
over-the-counter and prescription
medicines be given to students?
Students may receive prescription
medications in school only if the doctor’s
orders indicate it must be given during
school hours. The parent can obtain an
Any parent can get a user name and password by going to the
District’s web site at www.philasd.org, clicking on the green
“Parents” box, and then and clicking on “FamilyNet.” Once parents

the original, unopened manufacturer’s
package, including directions and
dosage, along with the parent’s written
permission for the OTC medicine to be
given in school.
A doctor may also order, on a short-term
basis, medicines that are sold over-thecounter (OTC), but the school nurse must
receive a doctor’s order, written on a
prescription form or letterhead, so that
the medicine can be given during school.
The OTC medication must be delivered in
Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen may
sometimes be given at school, but only
by the school nurse under very specific
circumstances and, when necessary, in
consultation with the parent and/or health
care provider.

Multiple Pathways to Graduation
The School District of Philadelphia offers a variety of flexible options for
students who have previously left school or are struggling to graduate. The
Office of Multiple Pathways to Graduation’s Reengagement Center provides
young people and adults with “one stop” access to information and direct
placement services leading to re-enrollment in a high school diploma or GED
program. The Center also connects youth to comprehensive resources such as
childcare and employment, which support successful educational outcomes.
Youth will also receive transition support from the Center to help make their
transition back to an educational setting successful.␣
