Dear Parent(s):
On behalf of the staff at George Middle School, we are excited and happy to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year! We are looking forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our children can achieve their highest potential.
Academics continue to be a top priority at GMS and our focus this year will be based on working together to increase student achievement. We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our children need support from both the home and school. We need to make sure that our students arrive for the new school year with the belief that education is important and requires hard work. A strong partnership with you will make a tremendous difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and we want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities.
Below are upcoming opportunities to learn more about the school and to prepare for child(s) success:
School Supplies - Families are encouraged to purchase school supplies from the school for $5, which include the following: binder, dividers, pencils, planner, erasers, pens, paper, pencil pouch, and composition book.
Cell Phone Policy–Attached is a copy of our school cell phone policy so that you and your child can review it together. If you have any questions about the cell phone policy, please feel free to contact me or to discuss them with other members of our administrative staff. It is very important that you and your child are fully informed regarding standards related to appropriate behavior for a safe and productive school year. Please feel free to review the PPS Parent Handbook which can be accessed at https://www.pps.net/schools/george.
It is our desire to keep you informed of all that is taking place at school. Up-to-date and additional information will be sent to you regularly and will appear on our school web page https://www.pps.net/schools/george. If you have questions or concerns that arise at any time, please do not hesitate to give your child’s teacher or me a call. I look forward to having a long and rewarding relationship with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Lavert Robertson, M.Ed.

The 2019-20 school year in Portland Public Schools will begin on Wednesday, Aug. 28, and end (barring weather makeup days) on Friday, June 5.
That became official Tuesday night when the PPS Board of Education passed Resolution 5821, which approved Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero’s proposed 2019-20 school calendar. The calendar was presented to the Board at its Jan. 15 meeting, with public input invited in the period before Tuesday’s final Board vote.
In this week's PPS Pulse: Deadline coming for students to be immunized; Jefferson students discuss Black History Month
If you are the parent or guardian of a Portland Public Schools student, ask yourself: How is the educational climate at the school? Portland Public Schools is looking for answers to this and other key questions from family members of PPS students as part of the Successful Schools Survey. Students in grades 5, 7 and 10 also are being surveyed, and school-based staff will participate starting Feb. 19.
The recent outbreak of measles serves as a reminder about
immunizations, with an important deadline coming up.
Students in Portland Public Schools who have not gotten all of their required immunizations face a Wednesday, Feb. 20 deadline. That is the “exclusion date” set by the state for 2019, when any student who is not fully immunized may be barred from attending classes or district-provided child care.
