Welcome Back!

Our Vision

The vision of Lingelbach Elementary School is to ensure every student who enters will leave on grade-level or above in all content areas. Learning will be enhanced through the use of environmental studies, the arts, and technology in a clean and safe environment. In achieving this, students will be able to enter the high school of their choice for further preparation for college and/or career.

Mission Statement

Through professional development, educators will utilize best practices in the academic, cognitive, and social development of students. Parents will ensure that students are present and on time each day to receive high-quality instruction. Students, with the support of the school community, will take ownership of their learning; and develop peer mediation and conflict resolution skills. School support staff is included in decision-making and problem-solving strategies for the school community.

A Message from our Principal

A Warm Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year!

Dear Lingelbach Families and Friends,

It is with immense joy and excitement that I welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year at Anna L. Lingelbach School! I’m thrilled to be your new principal and look forward to working alongside all of you to move Lingelbach forward.

At Lingelbach, our goal is for every student to be emotionally and physically strong, academically engaged, and well  prepared for high school. We firmly believe in the power of three:

  • Take care of yourself
  • Take care of others
  • Take care of the school community

Our Vision for Success

Our vision for the 2025-26 school year remains clear: we want every student who enters Lingelbach Elementary to leave on or above grade level in all content areas. We’ll enhance learning through environmental studies, the arts, and technology, all within a clean and safe environment. By achieving this, our students will be well-prepared to enter the high school of their choice, setting them up for the four E’s after high school: Enrollment, Enlistment, Entrepreneurship, and Employment.

Important Back-to-School Details

The new school year is off to a great stat!. Please note that students should be dropped off no earlier than 8:10 AM, as we do not have before-care services, and students are not permitted to play on the playground before school hours. Our school day ends promptly at 2:54 PM, so please make arrangements for timely pick-up every day.

We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to educate your children and are eager to see them develop into dynamic, educated, and well-prepared citizens.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at bimccabe@philasd.org if you have any questions.

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Bethany I. McCabe Principal, Anna L. Lingelbach School
