Posted On: March 13, 2020

Dear KIPP Philadelphia Families-

As our city and country grapple with an unprecedented situation, I want to make sure we keep you as well informed as possible. We recognize the stress you are under as parents and caregivers and seek to alleviate that as much as possible through consistent communication. Thus, I am writing to inform you of today’s COVID-19 updates-

  1. In alignment with the School District of Philadelphia, KIPP Philadelphia Public schools will be closed until at least March 27.
  2. At this point, KIPP Philadelphia schools have no confirmed or presumptive cases of COVID-19.
  3. We will be providing students with meals and learning materials next week. Please expect notification on Monday describing the pickup process.
  4. To stay abreast of citywide COVID-19 updates from Mayor Kenney’s office, please text COVIDPHL to 888-777.
  5. Moving forward, please expect (Monday – Friday) communication from us every afternoon between 4 and 6 PM.

 

Sincerely,

Jessica Cunningham Akoto, CEO
