Hang Pham/ she, her and hers

School Social Worker- Woodmere & Marysville

Cell: 503-719-9077-hapham@pps.net

Hello, Marysville

My name is Hang Pham. I am a new addition part-time School Social Worker here at Marysville Woodmere. I have heard lots of good things about our school and our team. I am so lucky to be a part of the team. I am very excited and can’t wait to serve our students, families, and communities. I understand that my role as a social worker is to empower and advocate for students and families. I promise to serve the Marysville and Woodmere students and family with all of my skills, energy, and positivities. I also want to provide all of the necessary support/ tools/ resources to all of our students and community members including BIPOC populations. I find values in being culturally informed, understanding how social location comes into play with interactions, and will strive to use strengths-based approaches to practice. My strengths lie in working with immigrants and refugees, as well as people with mental health and intersecting social identities. I want to see our students and families get the services that they needed/ deserved in order to be successful including justice and equity. 

A bit more about myself: I am an alumnus of Madison HS and finishing my MSW at PSU. I am an outdoor person and I am more on the extrovert side but easy to get emotion sometimes. I am a vegetarian. I like cooking. I think that is enough for now. I will save the rest and share it with you as we go this year. Oh, one more thing that I am bilingual. If you need help with any Vietnamese students, families or anything relates to the Vietnamese language or culture please don't hesitate to reach out. I am more than happy to support you if I don't know the answer, I will help you to find out. Again, it is my honor and privilege to be on board at Marysville and Woodmere this year.

Dear Families of PPS Secondary Students,

During Comprehensive Distance Learning, opportunities are built into the schedule for all families to be able to connect with teachers during office hours. As in a traditionally formatted year, we will also be offering Parent-Teacher Conferences (morning to evening) on November 23-24. 

Dear PPS Families,

With the announcement that Portland Public Schools is extending Comprehensive Distance Learning through at least January 28, we want to make you aware of upcoming updates to our meal service as we adjust to the coming colder weather and shorter days.

Dear PPS Families and Staff,

We are now several weeks into Comprehensive Distance Learning, and simultaneously working on the next phases of a gradual re-opening of schools. PPS remains focused on published health metrics from the county and state and our medical experts. We also continue to observe Oregon Department of Education guidelines as we contemplate introducing limited in-person opportunities. While we are anxious to have all of our students back on campus, we will proceed in a measured and prudent manner that prioritizes the health and safety of our students and employees. 

Dear PPS Families and Staff,
