Good Information for Families:
Dear PPS Community:
We are pleased that COVID-19 cases are declining in Oregon; however, we must remain vigilant as the virus is still widespread throughout the state. As PPS prepares for summer programming, we want to remind you of ways to protect your students and your family:
Dear PPS families,
Portland Public Schools is excited to provide free summer enrichment and extended learning. These opportunities are for students of all ages and include academic support, credit completion for high school students, enrichment activities, and culturally specific learning experiences. These programs are offered by our community partners and this catalog lists programs by each community partner. We also posted these opportunities on this website, where you can search listings by school and subject.
Dear PPS families,
This year our 2022 summer programs are set to begin as early as June 21. The $15m program is the most robust summer programming package in PPS and state history.
May 27, 2022
Dear PPS Community,
Earlier this year, the PPS School Board unanimously adopted one of the most aggressive school district climate crisis response policies in the nation.
We are now looking for PPS students and members of our community to join the district’s efforts to cut greenhouse gas emission in half by 2030 and make other meaningful progress on important sustainability initiatives.
Dear Marysville Families,
Happy sunny Friday again. We made it through another week and am always I am so glad to be at Marysville where I feel our community takes such good care of each other. Thank you to everyone for your commitment to following safety protocols. It has definitely been more challenging in the past two weeks, but I feel like our school is doing so much better than many.
Our attendance numbers have been reasonable, which means case rates are not too high for us. We have had an average of 79% student attendance rate this week. Down from our pre surge attendance rate of 87%. I do appreciate families being proactive and keeping students home for any symptom during this time.
We have been able to cover all of the staff absences and are very grateful for all of the district support that has been provided. I offer special gratitude to Area Senior Director Kathleen Bailey, Special Education TOSA Angela Dillingham and District MTSS Senior Director Chandra Cooper for sharing their time and expertise with us at Marysville this year. I also have to thank our staff for going above and beyond to show up everyday with a positive attitude and a focus on wellbeing for all.
The Health and Safety guidelines for exposure consideration and quarantine timelines have been updated and I will share specifics for that in this newsletter. I do have a few other non COVID related updates as well.
New OHA and MCHD Health and Safety Protocols
ISOLATION FOR POSITIVE COVID-19 INDIVIDUALS
If you test positive for COVID-19:
Everyone - vaccinated or unvaccinated
NEW K-12 QUARANTINE UPDATES
If you are exposed to a positive case of COVID 19 and fully vaccinated - No Home Quarantine Required
If you are exposed to a positive case of COVID-19 at school and are unvaccinated - 5 & 5 Day Quarantine + Masking
If you are exposed to a positive case of COVID-19 in a household and are unvaccinated - 5 & 5 & 5 Day Quarantine + Masking
As you can see these new guidelines will work only with very careful and consistent mask use.
Please wear only face masks, no pull up neck gaiters or bandanas to school. Please wear a mask at all times on the school grounds. We have plenty of masks at school and are happy to send some home. Thank you for your cooperation.
We do have the test to stay option to the 5 day quarantine for unvaccinated students exposed at school.
In order to participate you must have a Binax Test Consent form completed for your child. If you would like a paper copy of this form, please email marysvilleinfo@pps.net or call the school office 503-916-6363.
Changes to Contract Tracing
Oregon will no longer consider masked contact in schools to be an exposure regardless of distancing. PPS continues to require individuals to wear masks at all times while on school campuses (indoor and outdoor).
Someone may still be considered exposed if they are close to a positive COVID case during mealtimes (when students are unmasked).
This means you will no longer get a notification if your student is a close contact, unless exposure occurs during unmasked situations.
Link to Southeast Schools Boundary and Enrollment Changes
Draft Proposals D series Headlines
New proposals focused on placement options for placing Dual Language Immersion Programs and ensuring that Harrison Park and Lane middle schools would have a target of 500 students enrolled.
In these 4 new proposals:
Option D-1
Option D-2
Option D-3
Option D-2
Marysville boundary stays similar to its current boundary in all of these options. In options D-1 and D-2 our projected enrollment is around 300 students. In option D-3 and D-4 our projected enrollment is less, around 250, because of a proposed smaller boundary.
Once program placement decisions are finalized next week. The Southeast Guiding Coalition will spend more time working on the individual school boundaries to balance enrollment numbers.

From the school counselor:
I know today we have come to school with a heavy heart after the traumatic and devastating news from the school shooting in Texas. The school counselor department and student success and health is working on compiling resources for educators and students.
I do not want to overwhelm but also want to provide a few resources that might be of help throughout the week. If you, students, or families need support please reach out as I am happy to hold space for anyone who might need an outlet.
Recovering emotionally from disaster
Talking to students about school shootings in the news
Try and keep routines as normal as possible. Kids gain security from the predictability of routine, including attending school.
Limit exposure to television and the news.
Be honest with kids and share with them as much information as they are developmentally able to handle.
Listen to kids’ fears and concerns.
Reassure kids that the world is a good place to be, but that there are people who do bad things.
Parents and adults need to first deal with and assess their own responses to crisis and stress.
Rebuild and reaffirm attachments and relationships.
During our well-being lessons this month we will be talking about the difference between mood and mindset, perspective taking and mindful movement. Each of these topics explores the way we see and feelthings and the choices we can make to change that view, when/if we want to. When we realize we(students and adults!) have the power to shift our thinking and we learn how to do this, we often feel agreater sense of control and freedom in our lives - a feeling that may seem harder to find these days. To be successful at shifting our mindset or perspective, it’s important to first be able to identify how we arefeeling. Naming our emotions is something we practice at Marysville all the time! For a refresher on oneway to recognize and accept how you are feeling in the moment, try RAIN - a mindfulness practice forwelcoming your emotions.
For more information on these practices, click on the links above. And as always, if you have any questions or you are curious about additional emotional supports for your children please reach out. I’m happy tochat, brainstorm, offer suggestions or just listen.
Warmly,
Sara Fuller, Marysville School Counselor, she/her/hers

I also want to share a few resources with you. This Grounding Moment practice is a great way to practice mindfulness at home, for all members of the family. And if you are noticing increased anxiety at home these days or are just looking for fun, creative ways to manage anxiety, Create More, Fear Less is a wonderful, free resource with activities for anyone to do at home. I regularly use these activities during small groups with students who have extra worries and anxious thoughts. Check ‘em out and let me know what you make!
As always, if you have any questions or you are curious about additional emotional supports for your children please reach out. I’m happy to chat, brainstorm, offer suggestions or just listen. Be well.
