Hello Alliance High School Community!
I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine as we head into October! It's hard to believe, but this Wednesday is the last day of term one for our Meek students. If you haven't done it recently, I highly encourage all of our families to sit down tonight to check StudentVUE/ ParentVUE and make a plan to complete any missing assignment before Wednesday to make sure you earn credit for this term. Kenton classes are self-paced and will not have a term end this week, but StudentVUE/ParentVUE is still a great tool for tracking progress!
Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 26th when we will be celebrating our annual Harvest Festival! This is an amazing event, organized by our students to support ComuniCare. There will be baby goats, a cake walk and lots of other fun activities. As we look forward to being one, united campus next year I want to offer a special invitation to all of our Kenton students and families to join us at this event. It's a great opportunity for us to build community together.
Go Alliance!
Principal Aaron

Students at Meek REP Alliance:
Our Students are Respectful, Engaged, and Present above all else.
When students from Cleveland High School’s Advanced Commercial Foods and Baking class visited Hosford Middle School last month to try out a new recipe they called Baked Pears Goat Cheese Sunflower Seed Delight, the results of an informal sticker poll were very much on the positive side: 26 kids liked it and 30 loved it. Twenty-two were on the fence.
Sixth grader Isaac Huynh was in the latter category. “I’ve had goat cheese before, but this goat cheese tastes different,” he said. “I think the whole thing might have been better with whipped cream.”
Ever wondered if dogs might be able to sniff out cancer? Or how Magic the Gathering is connected to the Satanic Panic of the 1980s? Or if your running watch might be gaslighting you?
Seniors in the Cleveland High School International Baccalaureate (IB) program answered these questions – and many more – at the 15th annual Extended Essay Senior Showcase on February 21. The showcase gives IB students the opportunity to present the results of two years’ worth of research into academic topics of their choosing. The topics begin as inquiry questions, which students then investigate and eventually answer in the form of a 4000-word essay.
At first glance, the annual Portland Public Schools district calendar might seem to fulfill one crucial function: to alert students, staff, and families to the days when school is in session and when it is not.
If that were the case, crafting the calendar would be the work of days, if not hours. In fact, the calendar is a multipurpose living document that involves meticulous planning and careful forethought to ensure the best possible outcomes for students and staff. It also reflects the needs and observances of the many diverse communities the district serves.
Ethan Kramer, Beaumont Middle School’s assistant principal, sees middle school math as so much more than 2x + 3y = 5.
“It’s helping to build the logic center – the prefrontal cortex – in analysis and processing,” he said. Given this, Kramer and others believe that middle grades instruction must lay a strong foundation to support more challenging math concepts in the future – first high school, then beyond.
But what are the components of that foundation? And how is it best established?
The district’s middle grades core academics team and its grades 6-8 math committee have spent the last year weighing these questions in tandem with educators and community stakeholders. Their goal: a comprehensive math curriculum that challenges students without rushing or skipping over key concepts.
