 Dear Faubion Families,

Happy Summer! We hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine and warmer

weather we have been experiencing. This summer Portland Public School’s staff and

our construction crews have been hard at work finishing up our new building! The

question we are asked most often is, “Will the building be ready for students in August?”

and the answer is a resounding YES! We are so excited to fill this building with our

magnificent students, great teachers, and our enthusiastic community!

This year will be filled with amazing Faubion traditions, both old and new! As usual,

Faubion will hold an Open House on August 29, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

for families to pick up school supplies, fill out paperwork, and find out who their child’s

teacher will be. Due to our construction this summer, we will not be mailing home

packets, and instead families will find out their child’s teacher at Open House. Also, due

to district changes in Faubion’s 100% free lunch status, we will have a special station

set up for families to fill out the free and reduced lunch form.

Following Open House, we will host Grand Opening for Faubion School + Concordia

University from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on August 29, 2017. We would love for Faubion

families to attend our formal Grand Opening celebration and help make history as we

open the new building.

School will begin the following day, August 30, 2017 for 4th through 8th grade

students only. From August 30 to September 4, 2017, Faubion PK-3rd grade teachers

will be conducting Parent-Teacher Home Visits. In the next couple of weeks, families

with students in PK-3rd grade will be contacted to set up an appointment to meet with

your child’s teacher. It is up to your family where you would like to meet- your home,

the library or a local park! This new tradition will help our teachers get to know your

student and family better before beginning the school year. Our hopes are to grow this

program to include all students, PK-8th grade in the following years! PK-3rd grade

students will begin school on September 5, 2017. (All students will attend this day!)

Faubion’s start time was also shifted this school year in order to accommodate Portland

Public School District’s transportation needs and increase the number of instructional

minutes for middle school students. Middle School students (grades 6-8) will attend

school from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. The first bell will ring at 8:35 a.m. and the tardy bell

will ring at 8:45 a.m. Students in PK-5th grade will attend school from 9:00 a.m. to

3:15 p.m. The first bell will ring at 8:50 a.m. and the tardy bell will ring at 9:00 a.m.

Elementary students who ride the bus or come to school with a middle school sibling

may arrive between 8:35-8:45 a.m. More information to come!

Also, just a reminder that Faubion families voted to have a “standard dress” requirement

for students. This will begin this fall. More information about Faubion’s Standard Dress

requirement may be found at: https://www.pps.net/domain/4388

I am very excited about this next chapter for Faubion School! I am proud to work

alongside you, and admire your commitment to the Bulldog Community! See you in a

few weeks!

Yours in Bulldog Pride,

Principal McCalley and Assistant Principal Williams

Dear 3 to PhD Family,

We’re so glad you’re on this 3 to PhD® journey with us, as we work together every day to develop safer, healthier, more educated communities.

Back in 2015, Academy Award winner Viola Davis shared her support and inspiration for 3 to PhD when she spoke in Portland to help raise funds for the new school. Her personal story of overcoming life’s challenges and embracing her abilities, continues to inspire our collective efforts today.

With just 25 weeks until opening the new Faubion School + Concordia University building, construction is making great progress – check out the latest construction photos here.

Meanwhile, the innovative education programs offered inside the new building are also taking shape. For example, several community listening sessions held last year will help inform health, wellness and food wrap-around services. This work was recognized with a Health Innovation Impact Award at the fourth annual Elevating Impact Summit last month.

Dear 3 to PhD Family,

Welcome to our “Join the Family” Countdown Campaign! This is the first of a regular e­-newsletter to keep you informed about everything 3 to PhD®, Faubion and Concordia!
