Message from the Principal

Dear Parents and Friends,
Grover Washington, Jr. Middle School

Every child will be given the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential in the academic, physical, social, and moral skills necessary to become well-educated citizens, problem solvers, and leaders for the next millennium. Please join us in supporting our emphasis on:

• Respect for the culture and diversity in each of us as students, teachers, parents and as a community.
• High academic achievement and the integration of thematic curriculum units, critical thinking, problem solving skills, and a core curriculum.
• A safe and orderly climate for teaching and learning.
• Technology education for the 21st century.

Parents and school staff working together as partners is one of the most beneficial aspects of school success. We invite your cooperation and input and encourage you to become an active participant in your child’s education. Please feel free to call the school at (215) 456-0422 any time you have a question, desire information, or have an idea to share. With your active help and support we can meet the needs of all of our students and make our school the very best school in the School District of Philadelphia.

Sincerely,

Gerald Branch, Principal
