Alexander Adaire Elementary is a public Pre-kindergarten to 8th grade school in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Our school was established in 1891 and is named after one of Fishtown’s famous residents and advocates for public education, Alexander Adaire. We are proud to continue his legacy by providing excellent public education to our students in the community!
We look forward to seeing students back in school on Monday, August 25th!
Dear Parents/Families of Adaire Elementary School:
I hope you have enjoyed your summer so far!
As we get closer to August 25, 2025 — the first day of school — I wanted to reach out to remind you of our schedule for the upcoming school year.
This year, the Adaire school day will continue to begin at 8:30am and end at 3:09pm daily. Kindergarten will dismiss at 3:05pm daily. While this is the same schedule as last year, we are sharing this reminder so that if you haven’t already, you can start to make any needed family arrangements ahead of time to ensure your child can attend school on time every day.
More information about our return to school in the fall will be shared with you during the District’s Back-to-School campaign leading up to August 25th — the first day of school. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit the School District of Philadelphia website on a regular basis for the most up to date information on our return to full, in-person learning: www.philasd.org/ringthebell.
Information regarding classroom assignments can be found in the Parent Portal, under enrollment. Class supply lists can be found by using this link.
Please enjoy the rest of your summer. I cannot wait to welcome your children back to school on August 25th! As always, please feel free to reach out to our office with any questions at 215-400-7480.
Sincerely,
Anna Jenkins
Principal
