Learning Resources for Our Students

Posted On: March 18, 2020

Dear KIPP Philadelphia Families-

 

I hope you and your family are well.  We miss you and are working closely with our whole staff across our six schools to ensure we stay connected with you!  Our hope is to continue to support you and your children through this difficult time.

 

We were glad to see you if you were able to come by and pick up a packet of work for your child. We also wanted to provide you with access to the packet electronically as well as other useful resources in order to continue academic work with your child.  If you do not have a printer, we suggest students complete the work in a notebook or on blank paper. Please note that this work will not impact grades, promotion, or credits, it is intended to provide support and optional activities for your children.

 

As your children start to do work on their packets and access other resources and learning opportunities below, feel free to reach out to your school site staff for support.  Each school will be sending a message today with information of when and how you can contact a teacher or leader at your school every day.

 

Packets: We created grade level appropriate packets for reading, math and additional subjects. You can find them all at the links below.  The work included will cover a student for at least 2 weeks, if not longer.

 

KDCA (9-12) KPPA (5-8) KWPP (5-8)
KPEA (K-4) KWPEA (K-3) KNPA (K-2)

 

Daily Work:  We recommend, if possible, that children do the following every day from their packet or other resources.  We recognize that many parents and guardians are working and may not be able to support their child through their assignments.  We provided resources and work material that should be accessible to students and allows students to practice material they have already covered.  If students do struggle, reach out to your school on the days/times outlined!
