As many of you know, we are trying very hard to get our buses out on time at the end of the day.  After school plans change often for students.  You can help us when your students have a change by:

 

1. If your student has a change to their Vermont Hills plan, please notify Amy or the main number (both listed below).  Steven is not always at our site, so you must contact numbers below. The school and Vermont Hills are separate and both school and Vermont Hills need to be contacted.

 

Please report any Vermont Hills absences to their main office at (503)-452-8631. 
For questions, comments, concerns, requests, or last minute absences, you can contact the Site Director,Steven Dobrinski, at stevend@vhflc.com.

2. If your student’s change in plan includes an after school enrichment course, the enrichment course instructor needs to be added to the after school plan for your student with the classroom teacher. Those courses are not a part of Capitol Hill Elementary and  rent our classrooms to offer the classes.  We are not allowed to release your students to the enrichment course without having your permission to do so.         

 

3. If your student is riding a bus home with a friend please send a note with your student with the following information:

 

1. Who your student is
2. Who your student is going home with
3. The date
4. The bus number
5. The stop they will be getting off at

 

These notes will come to the office for approval and signature and become their pass to ride the bus.  Per the student handbook, bus passes should not be used for birthday parties etc.  This becomes a supervision issue for bus drivers.

 

Thank you so much for helping us keep our students safe and in the correct place.  If there is an emergency/last minute change in plan that cannot be communicated at the beginning of the day, please email the classroom teacher, Heidi (hreichel@pps.net) and Mike (meskew@pps.net).  You can also call 503.916.6303 but the phones sometimes get very busy.

The school year was over, but more than 500 K-5 teachers were hard at work preparing for the 2018-19 academic year at the PPS Summer Institute at Roosevelt High School. The two-day training gave teachers the opportunity to dig into the new language arts curriculum, and hear from teachers who are already using it. The teachers also learned how the curriculum aligns with state standards and the district’s newly adopted scope and sequence — an academic term for what will be taught and in what order. 

Portland Public Schools has refined and expanded its policy for handling complaints. The Board of Education, at its June 12 meeting, approved a revision of its complaint policy, with significant details added on procedures, types of complaints, timeframes and more.

Michelle Nicola, who recently completed her stint as a language arts and Spanish teacher at Bridger School, has received a Fulbright grant to study in Mexico.

Dear PPS Families,

As the 2017-18 school year comes to a close, I would like to appreciate our students, teachers, support staff, and school leaders for all their hard work. They have all earned a well-deserved summer break. This past week, more than four thousand students walked across the stage at the various high school graduation ceremonies and received their diplomas. Congratulations to our seniors on reaching this important milestone. We wish you much success in your next endeavors.
