Parent Questions and Answers
Below are some FAQs from new PHSSA families. Thank you to the parent volunteers who collected the questions and found out the answers.
DRESS CODE
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE DRESS CODE AS LITERALLY AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL CUT DOWN ON CONFUSION AND LIMIT DISAPOINTMENT WHEN ITEMS ARE DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE

A: Yes, the sneakers should be solid black or white. The intention is to cut down on branding.
Q: I purchased black converse sneakers for my child with a white star. Is this acceptable?

CURRICULUM
Q: Will the teachers or the school provide us with the syllabus for the year?
A: The teachers and school will be providing syllabuses for each grade. We will post when these will be made available.
SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST
Q: My daughter will be attending kindergarten at PHSSA. I was wondering if you could tell me if the headphones for the computer lab will be her personal set to use at school and that she will be able to take home after the end of the school year?
A: Yes, the headphones you buy will be for your child’s personal use and will be returned at the end of the year. It would be a good idea to label them with your child’s name.
