ACCESSING GRADES and ATTENDANCE
Parents can access grades and assignments via the Schoolnet portal. Please work with your child and our teachers to check in regularly on your child’s progress. If you have questions on how to establish a parent account, check the SDP Parent Portal FAQ or call our school (215-400-7850) or email Principal Robb at bdunn2@philasd.org with questions or issues.

Parent and School Partnership
We are committed to working with families to help our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Parents can contribute in numerous ways, including:
- Our goal is for students to not be absent more than 8 days in the school year.
- Making sure that homework is completed, including studying/reading for 30 minutes a day in core classes.
- Limit screen time, including cell phones, tablets, and computers, and monitor use of social media and texting, particularly if you notice sudden changes in mood or behavior.
- Encouraging healthy behaviors, including adequate sleep and nutrition. Breakfast and lunch is served free of charge to all students. Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep every night.
- Promoting positive use of my child’s extracurricular time, including encouraging involvement in extracurriculars and athletics.
- Staying informed about my child’s education and communicating with the school by promptly reading all notices from the school or the school district either received by my child or by mail and responding, as appropriate.
- Volunteering for school events and trips, and/or as parent representative on the school’s School Improvement Team or other school advisory or policy groups.

Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities
“Attention families: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow schools to include information from your child’s education records in certain school publications.
Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each of their students, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by November 6, 2023.
Find more information, including the forms you need HERE.
