Class of 2028
I am pleased to share that the Ninth Grade Academy will be working with a mosaic artist from Germantown this week to create art pieces. Bartram’s Ninth Grade Academy was awarded a special grant from Philadelphia Academies, Inc. (PAI) to allow us to partner with a local artist.
Small groups of students will work with her on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in a space set up for them to make mosaic art. The schedule is below. We are creating the student lists and will distribute them tomorrow morning. Mr. Boyle and the ArtistYear teachers will be supporting the mosaic creations, as well as Ms. Kellie and Mr. Bowman who will be helping to set up the room and get the student groups to the art space.
Please watch your email and listen for announcements for ninth graders to go to the workspace this week. Thank you, in advance for your support of this amazing opportunity!

SPECIALTY CLASS: FRESHMAN SEMINAR
Students practice the note-taking, time management, study habits, and social-emotional awareness they will need across five broad areas to be successful in high school:
Themes: Academics, Community, Social-Emotional, Climate, and College and Career Readiness.
This course is offered to give students experience working with faculty and classmates in a small community where writing, communication and critical thinking skills are key. These skills will be developed, practiced, and improved for high school success and to keep students ON TRACK.
Freshman Seminar will use the Remind.Com app as a password-protected and teacher-monitored social media outlet for freshman students. With teacher permissions, students can post videos, projects, and messages for their classmates, parents and teachers in the Freshman Academy. This will serve as an integral part of Freshman Seminar as students utilize skills learned in Class.
