Philadelphia School District Launches Back-to-School Bus Tour Ahead of Aug. 24 Return

The School District of Philadelphia is rolling out a citywide back-to-school push aimed at helping families prepare for the first day of classes on Monday, Aug. 24, with officials bringing resources directly into neighborhoods through the return of its Back-to-School Bus Tour.

The tour will include enrollment help, transportation information, student services, family support resources, and a new High School Showcase designed to connect students with school options and programs.

The tour is scheduled to make four stops across the city between Aug. 3 and Aug. 15:

Alongside the bus tour, the district is promoting parent portal sign-ups and directing families to its Family Hub for additional year-round support.
