Welcome to General Philip Kearny School

Message from the Principal

August 1, 2024

Dear Kearny Cougar families:

The Kearny team and I are excited and ready to safely welcome all of our students back to school on August 26, 2024. This is the first day of school for all of our students. This includes our newly established Pre-Kindergarten program too. That’s right; we will welcome the Kearny Cubs to our school community.

Our team is excited to welcome you to another awesome school year. We have planned a calendar to make school a fun and enriching experience. We are ready to strengthen our partnerships with parents and hope you will work alongside us to execute some of our new initiatives and programs.

I have also purchased school supplies for all our students and we will allow them to come and shop for what they need on the first day of school at the principal’s supply shop. If teachers are requesting any other items, they will let you know.

This year, we’re delighted to welcome a few new additions to our staff. Please welcome them as they get acclimated to our wonderful school. Please be reminded that if you have a Kindergartener starting at Kearny this year, they will be dismissed early at 12:30 pm during the first week of school.

I invite our families to attend our in-person Back-to-School Block Party on Thursday, September 12, 2024 from 5:00pm – 7:00 p.m. This will be a great time to meet key staff members, learn more about the new school year and tour our school. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit www.philasd.org/ringthebell for the latest back-to-school information in multiple languages.

All of us at Kearny School look forward to welcoming students back to school in person on Monday, August 26th! As always, please feel free to reach out to me at 215 400-7590 or sscottfeggins@philasd.org with any questions.

Warm Regards,

Principal Feggins
