7th Grade

Welcome

My name is Mr. Petrocelli and I am the 7th Grade Teacher at Drexel Neumann Academy. I'm incredibly honored to be a part of the team here at DNA and I am really looking forward to working with all of my students. I will be posting updates on our classwork on this page throughout the remainder of this year, so stay tuned for more details in the future!

I presently utilize Google Classroom in all of my classes. This tool allows your students to view lessons multiple times in hopes of achieving higher levels of student understanding, while giving them hands-on experience with technology,  as well as centralize most of their assignments in one secure place online that can be accessed on any device, anywhere in the world.

Students who normally ride the bus:
Any day that you do not plan to ride the bus, you MUST bring in a note explaining your change of plans for dismissal on that day. 
Parents of students who are picked up late are charged a $25 fee. 

Folders are sent home every Tuesday. Students must return the folders with:
1. A parent/guardian signature on the front
2. Number of pages signed and written on the front
3. Each page inside the folder signed individually 

7th Grade Visitation Day Information
-This year's 7th Grade Visitation Day will be held on Wednesday, March 20th. On this day, the 7th Grade students will register to visit one of the archdiocesan high schools for the day instead of coming to DNA. This year, the archdiocese is asking for parents to register your students online at the following web address: https://www.aopcatholicschools.org/visit2019/ Please register your student for their high school visit no later than Wednesday, March 13th! If your child is a bus rider, you need to call the bus company at 484-483-8481. Tell them your address and what high school your child will be attending that day. They will be able to provide you with the nearest bus stop and what time your child needs to be there.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Below you will find the new matrix that will be put into place here at DNA for our Positive Behavior Intervention Support Plan.

PLEASE NOTE: Tuesday Folders go home every Tuesday with tests, quizzes, and assignments. If your child's Tuesday Folder is not returned the next class day, a demerit will be issued for "Tests not signed".

In the event that your student is absent, please be advised that an Absentee Slip will be sent home with your child on the day of their return. Once you receive this slip, please write in a short brief explanation next to the space provided for "reason" and please the slip at the bottom and return it to school with your child the next day. Any time a student is absent, it is a legal requirement for us to have noted documentation regarding that student's absence.

Thank You,
Mr. Petrocelli

Reminder
All Students are responsible for having a flash drive of their own to save digital work done on any school computer. If your child does not have a flash drive or has lost theirs, they need to have a replacement immediately, or a demerit will be written for being unprepared for class.
