WELCOME TO ROWEN!

William Rowen Elementary introduces Ms. Angela Ryans, our new principal!

Ms. Angela Ryans has been an equity-centered educator for well over 20 years. She has been privileged to serve in a diversity of educational settings in various capacities: Teacher, Dean, School Based Teacher Leader (SBTL), Assistant Principal, and Principal Resident. Those experiences have helped to shape and broaden Ms. Ryans lens in her endeavor to have a profound impact on the communities she serves. In return, Ms. Ryans has embraced the opportunity to build the capacity of teachers and school teams in the collective mission to provide the equity-centered instruction needed to increase student outcomes. Ms. Ryans earned a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Cheyney University and a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Cabrini University. Ms. Ryans is also a life-long resident of Philadelphia and a product of Philadelphia Schools. In that light, she deems it a privilege and an honor to further serve the students of this fine city and especially as the new principal of William Rowen Elementary School.

Attention families: The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that a school with certain exceptions obtain your written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, a school may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the school to the contrary in accordance with school district procedures.

Parents who wish to opt their students out of directory information releases must complete an Opt-Out Form for each of their students, and must return each form to the school at which each student is enrolled by December 13, 2024.
