Please join our counseling department on Tuesday, March 5 as they present our annual College Info. Night. This event is geared mainly towards families of 11th grade students, however all families are welcomed if you want to get a comprehensive overview of the college admissions process, financial aid and scholarships. This will greatly benefit you by giving you a head start in the fall.

The SWAV Club is sponsoring a drive to collect sanitary products to support The Spot Period Hub in order to end period poverty. Donations can be dropped off in room 322. The class with the most donations will win a movie day.

Unfortunately, all students were not able to be photographed last Wed. The photographer will return on Wed. March 13, to photograph the remaining students for the yearbook. Students wishing to purchase a package can get an order form at school, but a copy is included below. Payments are to be made directly to the photographer on picture day. You can direct questions to ABS visuals, 215-947-0808 or absvisuals@gmail.com.

The Princeton University Computer Science Department, in partnership with the AI4ALL Foundation, will host its seventh annual Princeton AI4ALL camp this summer. Princeton AI4ALL is a residential camp, which will run for 3 weeks, from July 14th - August 3rd, 2024. Princeton AI4ALL is intended to increase diversity and inclusion in the field of artificial intelligence. Our mission is to inspire tomorrow’s leaders to know, think about, and use artificial intelligence ethically. We educate students through a combination of lectures, hands-on research projects, field trips, and mentorship.

The program targets current 10th graders (rising 11th graders) from low-income backgrounds. No prior programming experience is required. Applications are particularly encouraged from young women and other groups dramatically underrepresented in AI*.

Our program has no tuition costs, and all costs related to room, board, and field trips are covered by the program. We can also provide financial assistance with transportation costs to and from Princeton if needed.

Our application is now open! Students have until March 15th to apply. For more details, please go to: ai4all.princeton.edu/apply.

There are two medical forms that need yearly updating for all students. If you have not already done so, please complete the medical information form and the med-1 form which allows our nurse to administer medication to students while in school.

If your student tests positive for Covid, the reporting form can be found here as well.

Please contact nurse Stevens at cstevens@philasd.org if you have questions.
