Welcome!
Attention Dunbar Families:
February 3, 2021
The School District of Philadelphia will begin slowly and safely phasing in groups of students to a mix of in-person and digital learning (hybrid learning). PreK-2 students whose families selected hybrid learning during the initial selection process in the fall will phase in first, beginning on Monday, February 22nd if they still choose to do so. Otherwise, they can remain 100% digital. PreK-2 families who chose to remain in the 100% digital learning during the selection process in the Fall must remain digital at this time but will have the chance to opt in at a later date as long as we can safely phase in more students.

Please remember that each of us makes the difference in our P. L. Dunbar family. “Destination Excellence” will continue to be fueled by our love for children, collaborative efforts and determination.
Our vision for Dunbar Academy incorporates five essentials. Let them guide your practice throughout this school year.
