Greetings McGraw Families:
We are making every effort to return to our normal uniform policy for the 2022-2023 school year. We are pleased to announce that we will provide all families with two (2) uniform shirts free of charge. Additional items can be purchased at the school. We will also sell classroom appropriate outerwear for cooler months. Students are required to be in full uniform every day.

If your student arrives at school out of uniform you can expect that you will receive a
phone call home. If you have an issue with uniforms please contact Ms. Kilgore 856-298-6081. When students are permitted to Dress Down it will be on the calendar or students will come home with some other form of written notice. Otherwise students should report to school in uniform.

Danielle Horowitz serves as the proud principal of Mastery McGraw Elementary after serving as the assistant principal of instruction for 5 years. She has been an educator for over a decade. She started her teaching career as an English teacher in Chile before returning to the United States to be a 6^th grade teacher in Philadelphia.

Mrs. Horowitz’s (or Mrs. H’s) decision to become an educator was inspired by her mom’s 27 year career as a special educator. She believes that every one of our McGraw students is mighty and magnificent. She’s honored to lead a staff that believes this wholeheartedly as well. Together in partnership with the East Camden community, the McGraw team will continue to collectively disrupt the million different ways that inequity shows up in education, and work toward the Mastery mission to prepare students for postsecondary success and the ability to pursue their dreams.

Mrs. Horowitz has a bachelor’s degree from Lafayette College in both Spanish and Government & Law and a master’s in education from the University of Pennsylvania. On the weekends, Mrs. Horowitz and her husband enjoy spending quality time with friends and family.

Our staff is available to support you and your child throughout their school experience. We are available to meet with families and answer questions via the email addresses listed here.
