Hello Families,

Please join us for Back-to-School Night on Wednesday, September 26th. The program for the evening will begin at 6:15 pm in the auditorium. You will then have an opportunity to meet with your student’s teachers in their classrooms, and find out more about programs and curriculum at Cleveland High School.  

After the presentation in the auditorium, Period 1 will begin promptly at 6:45 pm. Each period will be ten minutes in length, with a five-minute passing time to get to the next class.

Encourage your student to fill out this blank schedule so that you will know where you are supposed to go for each class period. If your student cannot remember or is unable to complete it, you can get your student’s schedule through ParentVUE. If you need helping getting on to ParentVUE, please see Amy Liu in the main office before or during Back to School Night.   

We look forward to hosting you Wednesday evening!

Hello Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of CHS Students,

The start of the new school year is always so full and busy. I have made it into almost every single classroom already and have enjoyed meeting with several student groups about what is going well and what Cleveland can do differently to best serve them.  It has been an outstanding start!

Of course, we always face new challenges and issues that require a high level of response.  I want to share with you some updates that may directly or indirectly influence your student’s learning experience at Cleveland. 

Hello Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of our Cleveland High School students,

What an excellent first day of school today!  It has been wonderful seeing all of our Cleveland students, answering their questions, and helping them to find their classes.  

I shared an email earlier about our additional staffing we received from the district and some schedule changes that happened over the weekend as a result.  Again, let us know what questions you have.  

In this week's PPS Pulse: Julie Esparza Brown sets example as PPS's first Latina Board member; Superintendent reflects on first year.

When Julie Esparza Brown was growing up, she never envisioned a future in academia serving generations of future teachers. Esparza Brown is a third-generation Chicana who grew up in Encinitas, a beach community in San Diego County, where her blue collar parents fought to break the mold of what was expected of their children.

Portland Public Schools is committed to creating safe and welcoming schools for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning students. Recently, schools across the country participated in Ally Week, in which LGBTQ students led conversations about what they need from their allies in school.

Eighth-grade students in Portland Public Schools will have a chance to see their future high schools when informational sessions are held throughout the district from October to January. Neighborhood, focus-option and alternative high schools will give students and families the opportunity to tour the campus, meet staff and learn more about the academic and athletic programs offered.
