Rush Home & School

I was just here last week and we had potholes still. look at this beautiful asphalt. I have been volunteering with Rush art for 8 years and it took this long to finally get the driveway repaved. Now we just need signage!!!!

This is ONLY for pre-K-2 students who chose hybrid learning as a limited opening. As you all should already be aware that RUSH Arts passed the air quality testing, but the building is only being utalized for all grade testing currently. If and when the school district determines high school students will be returning to the building, you will receive direct official confirmation notification from from the principal of RUSH Arts. If you have any questions you can direct them to the school district of Philadelphia, view the press conference held by the city today, view the attached information and follow the school districts Facebook page for press conferences and to find information as resources to educate yourself and have questions answered.

Did you know Rush Arts has a Bowling team? Well, we do and they are doing well! See the post below about their recent success

Hello Students and Families! We hope you are well and have been enjoying the Summer. September 2nd is around the corner and we are so excited to welcome our students and families back and begin our school year. We will be implementing a 100% digital model of instruction where students will follow their rosters and meet with each class each day remotely Monday through Friday. We will be following our regular bell schedule which is attached. ... In order to provide students with the materials they need to succeed, the Rush staff has volunteered to organize the distribution process and open the building for students to pick up the materials they need for their classes. Teachers will be using either digital resources, materials that will be distributed to students, or a combination of both. The distribution of materials will occur in our gymnasium following all Health and Safety protocols, including wearing a face mask and abiding by all social distancing requirements. Students are asked to bring any books or materials from last year that need to be returned to a teacher or staff member on the assigned day as well as an empty backpack or bag to carry materials home. No students will be allowed in any other part of the building, this includes lockers. Only a student or one parent/guardian will be allowed to retrieve materials. All students will enter the gymnasium directly from the parking lot to the right of the building. Please bring a cell phone if possible to document receiving materials. This will enable us to maintain a safe process. Below you will find a schedule that will tell you what day and time to report to Rush. Here is the schedule: August 19: 9am-12pm: SENIORS August 20: 9am-12pm: JUNIORS August 21: 9am-12pm: SOPHOMORE August 31: 9am-12pm: FRESHMEN and any other students who were not able to pick up materials. Our Freshmen and New Student Orientation Webinar will be held virtually on Friday, August 28th at 2:00pm. Zoom Invitations will be posted on our website on August 24th and sent via email to our families as well. We look forward to seeing you! Stay safe, Rush Arts Faculty -- Antoinette L. Davis {pronouns: she/her} School-Based Teacher Leader and English Teacher The Arts Academy at Benjamin Rush
