Dear Ockley Green Families,
Hybrid instruction is coming soon and we want to make sure that families are aware of all of the specific information that begins the week of April 19th.
Changes start with the OG Schedule which has been adapted to hybrid but affects all students.
Mornings: Everyone is in comprehensive distance learning in the mornings. It is a new schedule that starts earlier and moves the asynchronous learning day to Wednesdays.
Afternoons: Students will either will be in hybrid cohort A, hybrid cohort B, or remain in distance learning for asynchronous learning. Afternoon hybrid times are from 1:30-4:00.
Cohort A meets on Monday and Tuesday afternoons
Cohort B meets on Thursday and Friday afternoons
Advisory teachers are reaching out to families this week with student cohort assignments. You can also find assignments in ParentVue or StudentVue by clicking the student information tab.
Hybrid instruction is designed to support students in their asynchronous learning, social emotional learning, and will build community.
Students attending hybrid will have to adhere to safety protocols in order to attend.
Proper mask use is non-negotiable with a mask that is well fitting, covers the nose, and has ear loops
6 foot social distancing while on campus
Proper hand washing and use of hand sanitizer when using the restroom, and entering and exiting the building
Please attend one of our hybrid parent information meetings by clicking on the meet link:
Tuesday 4/13 11:00am -12:00pm or Wednesday 4/14 6:00-7:00
***Also, next week teachers will be in pre-service training Wednesday through Friday (4/14-16) and will be assigning asynchronous learning only on those days.
Thank you,
Pam Joyner, Interim Principal Ockley Green MS

Schedules for the First Two Weeks of School

Dear PPS Families,
We want to share more information about the first two weeks of the school year and remind you that they will focus on connection, orientation and social-emotional support. You can find schedules for our 2020-21 “soft start,” which starts on Wednesday, September 2, by clicking here.
The purpose of the “soft start” schedules is to provide teachers, parents, families and students with an opportunity to develop relationships, become more familiar with distance learning platforms and tools, and build a positive virtual classroom culture. To give students a chance to develop a daily rhythm, a social-emotional learning activity will be included and attendance will be taken each day.
As we start the school year with Comprehensive Distance Learning until at least November 5, you may see terminology that is unfamiliar to you. For clarification about the difference between synchronous and asynchronous instruction, please click here for an explanation and helpful examples.
We expect to have daily schedules for the entire first quarter, by grade level, available to families next week. Please go to pps.net/fall2020 for the latest updates on the opening of the school year and answers to frequently asked questions.
In the meantime, we hope you stay healthy and enjoy the last days of summer break.

Dear PPS Family, In response to the continuing COVID-19 health crisis in our state, today Governor Brown and the Oregon Department of Education announced that our school campus doors will not open again for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. We all miss seeing our students in school buildings, but the health and safety of our students, educators, staff and the broader community, remains the highest priority. We are glad to finally have this guidance from Governor Brown and ODE. Given this decision to close school campuses for the remainder of the year, and the guidance related to distance learning and revised graduation requirements, our focus will continue to be on the roll-out of PPS-HD, our home-based distance learning efforts to continue serving students. All students, especially high school seniors, should stay tuned for further details and next steps related to course credits and grades. Please know that our guiding principle is to support students in meeting academic milestones. I want to acknowledge that our high school seniors, in particular, are missing traditions and milestone events right now. We will continue to support every one of you toward graduation and your post-secondary transition, and hope to find creative ways to acknowledge and celebrate your many years of hard work. School districts have just received Graduation Pathways 2020 from the Oregon Department of Education; it outlines the specific guidance we will be observing for our high school seniors. To be clear, with the exception of seniors who have all of the required credits for graduation, student engagement and learning for the 2019-2020 school year has not ended. The remainder of the school year will continue to transition from in-person classroom instruction to instruction and support for students through PPS-HD, our home-based distance learning program that we launched this week. Led by our dedicated educators, we will continue to connect regularly with students and to provide continuous learning opportunities for them. Going forward, we will be centrally focused on the social emotional health of our students and in providing them access to essential services. We will continue to serve meals Monday-Friday every week, and if your student needs a laptop computer, they can pick one up this week or next; you can find laptop distribution dates, times and locations by clicking here. Information about all of our supports and resources can be found at pps.net/coronavirus. I know all of us would prefer to be back in our classrooms...eventually, that day will return. Until then, I am grateful for your patience, flexibility and understanding. You are all playing an important role in getting through this challenge. Please stay home and stay safe, and be sure to let us know how we - teacher, school or central office leader - can best support you. Sincerely, |
|

Happy Friday Ockley Green Families and Community,
I hope everyone had a great week. In addition to important dates, I wanted to provide some information about Student Led Conferences on 11/25/19 and 11/26/19. By now, you should have already heard from your student's first period Advisory teacher by either email, postcard in the mail, phone, or text to schedule your student's conferences. Advisory teachers will be reaching out again next week and the week after to continue scheduling conferences. Student Led Conferences will take place from 9 AM - 8 PM except 12 PM - 12:30 PM for teacher lunch and 5 PM - 6 PM for teacher dinner. Please bring your student with you to conferences so that they can share their hard work and presentation with you. If you would like to meet with teachers other than advisory teachers, please reach out to the individual teacher to schedule conferences. If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's first period teacher. The Ockley Green Newspaper is located here. https://www.smore.com/7k920-ockley-green-newspaper
Upcoming dates:
