2021-2022 School Supplies Lists 

• Parents / Guardians: PLEASE be sure to include the office in any and all communication regarding your student being absent. Teachers don’t always have time to forward emails to us and they are only able to mark Absent or Tardy in attendance. They cannot put in an excused absence (Vacation, Appointment, Family Emergency, etc.). Only the office can! Add emails mrobb@pps.net (Mark) and/or slovett1@pps.net (Stacey). Please remember that Stacey is only in the office in the afternoons. OR you can leave a message on the School Attendance Line at 503-916-6256. In all cases, please be sure to leave a REASON for your students' absence. We now have to call any unexcused absence (and all new Sick) students each day.

  Questions? You can always call or email the office!

Do you need to add or remove an authorized pick up person to your student's profile?  Visit ParentVUE and choose the "Yearly Verification" tab.  From there you will be able to add/remove names.  If you need to add "permision to walk home" the work around is:  in the FIRST NAME spot put "permission to" and in the LAST NAME spot put "walk home".  Please notify your child's teacher of any changes to the pick up routine.  Contact Stacey at slovett1@pps.net with any questions.

Dear Families, Students and Colleagues,

Today begins Latino Heritage Month, an annual opportunity to celebrate and recognize the power of our multiracial Latinx community—past, present and future.

We wanted to remind you of the special Grand Opening Ceremony of the fully remodeled McDaniel High School on Saturday, September 18 at 11:00 a.m. at the front of the school (2735 NE 82nd Ave.). The ceremony will be followed by tours of the new campus.

Dr. Renard Adams, an accomplished educational leader with a history of using data to drive school support and district improvement, will join Portland Public Schools as Chief of Research, Assessment, & Accountability, Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero announced this week.

Dear PPS Students, Families and Staff,

With our ongoing commitment to keeping you informed, we have built an improved and more informative COVID-19 Monitoring Dashboard.
