Interim Grades: Using the Parent & Family Portal to Monitor Grades Interim reports will not be distributed for Term 1. Parents/Guardians and students can view current grades at any time in the Parent & Family Portal.... The steppers can be accessed at https://www.philasd.org/face/fr/parent-and-family-portal Parents/Guardians who do not yet have a Parent & Family Portal can register for one by visiting the Office of Family and Community Engagement’s Parent & Family Portal website. Here, you will find a stepper and a brief video that provides instructions on how to register, as well as other resources.

Hi all, unfortunately we are going to have to postpone the class of 2020 Graduation dance once again. We are still not permitted to have more than 25 people gathered inside. We considered moving it outside but after speaking with administration we decided that it would be irresponsible for us to put all those kids together knowing most if not all would not wear their mask. There should be another update from the governor later this month. Hopefully that will bring us the news we are waiting for ! Thank you for your understanding!

A great big thank you to all the kids who came out to see your teachers one last time today! You made their day!

Happy Summer families! I hope everyone was able to enjoy the parade today! It was great seeing so many people out in their Decatur gear with signs cheering! I'm sorry if we missed anyone, please know we did our best planning the route. Have a safe and happy summer, see you in August, hopefully! Fingers crossed Pics posted in the comments!

Decatur families, we are only two days away from our Decatur Staff Car Parade! It starts at 1 pm, our route is pictured here. Be outside waiting with your own Decatur signs, classroom signs, wearing Decatur gear! The Home and School will be the last car in the parade and giving out a treat! Can't wait to see you all!

Congratulations to the Class of 2020! Please follow the link to view Stephen Decatur School's virtual 8th grade graduation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vvXkCT7XN8
