Welcome
Welcome back, Meredith families! Happy Easter and Happy Passover to all who celebrate. We hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break and is feeling refreshed and ready for an exciting few weeks ahead.

As a reminder, scholars in Grades 3-8 will be taking the PSSA beginning tomorrow, April 22, and continuing through May 2. Please make sure your students are in school on time every day, getting ample sleep, and having breakfast daily. If you have questions about PSSAs, feel free to contact Ms. Zaback at fzaback@philasd.org.
