Dear Rhawnhurst School Families,
I am so excited to be back for the start of the 2024-2025 academic school year! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer and are ready to start a new school year on Monday, August 26, 2024!!
This year, the Rhawnhurst School day will begin at 8:15am and end at 2:54pm daily. Please be sure to make family/childcare arrangements and ensure your child(ren) attends school on time every day. All students will continue to receive a FREE healthy breakfast and lunch each day. Students are also welcomed to bring their own breakfast and/or lunch from home.
Please be sure to visit the Rhawnhurst School Website at https://rhawnhurst.philasd.org to see your child’s school supply list and uniform information. You can also visit the School District’s main webpage at www.philasd.org for important back-to-school information and District updates.
Lastly, I’d like to invite you to attend our annual Meet & Greet on Wedneday, August 21, 2024 from 9am – 11am in the back schoolyard (Gym if there is inclement weather). You can find out your child’s homeroom, meet their teacher and get back-to-school updates and information!
I look forward to seeing all our Wildcat families at our Back-to-School Night, tentatively scheduled for Thursday, September 12, 2024 from 4:00p – 6:00p. This will be another great opportunity to meet teachers and staff, and learn more about the upcoming school year.
Together, we will make this school year our best one yet!
