Dear Laurelhurst Community,

Our first week of launching distant learning for all has passed. We all have learned new ways of doing things and we all have gone through a lot of learning knowing that going through these difficult times is going to help us be stronger, smarter, and a more united community for the time to come.

I would like to thank all of you for your patience and take the opportunity to let you know how grateful I am for your encouragement and support emails. I truly feel honor and blessed to be able to be part of this community.

In order to help facilitate communications between our teachers and students, PPS has enabled a PPS specific email for students in grades 4-8. These email accounts have protections enabled and will only allow students to send and receive email from PPS email accounts. This includes students and staff at PPS.

Students can now access their email by going to mail.google.com and signing in with their PPS student username (studentusername@student.pps.net) and password.

I know our teachers are looking forward to working with your students next week!

Thank you,

Dr. Amor

As part of reopening Portland Public Schools in the 2021-22 school year, the district must submit a plan to the Oregon Department of Education. As part of the requirement, PPS is asking for feedback on the plan.

Dear PPS Families,

The 2021-22 school year is fast approaching, and we continue to prepare to safely reopen our schools for in-person learning. We want to make sure you are aware of upcoming opportunities to receive a COVID-19 vaccine during registration at our nine comprehensive high schools.

Dear PPS Students, Families and Staff,

As we finalize our last Back to School FAQ sections, we wanted to share with you a couple of updates. First, the district’s Office of Internal Performance Audit recently presented to the Board of Education its audit of our health and safety practices for hybrid learning last spring. We are pleased and proud to say that auditors reported no findings. From last week’s presentation:

Dear Colleagues,

The public health guidance is clear--vaccines are the best way to prevent the spread and the severity of COVID. Today we are announcing a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for all PPS staff.
