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.

If you need to contact me for any reason, you can email drexelneumannacademy@comcast.net or by calling the school office at 610-872-7358. Mrs. Kelly or Mrs. Price will forward your message to me. I will usually get back to parents on the same business day. If you do not hear from me on the day that you called, you will receive a call from me within 24 hours.  

General Announcements
-For virtual learning, please make sure that you are wearing school appropriate attire. Additionally, make sure that you are in a comfortable seat with all of your materials nearby and that your camera is on. Our first class will be at 9AM and the link will be posted in the 7th Grade News Google Classroom page.
-PLEASE PICKUP DEVICES AND MATERIALS FOR YOUR STUDENT ON JANUARY 6TH from 7:30AM-1PM.

-Students should come in with half full or full water bottles and only refill at our water fountains if necessary. 

-Per the order of Governor Tom Wolf, all PK-12 schools and facilities are currently under mask mandates indefinitely due to the Delta Variant of Covid-19. Please make sure that your child comes to school with a mask each school day. I would also recommend having them bring a few extras to keep in their school bag in the instance of theirs possibly breaking.

If the link does not work, please refer to the Parent/Student Handbook on our school website.


For the next month, we are doing a food item collection for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday. The 7th Grade class is being asked to bring in cans of soup. Any type of canned soup will be accepted.
