MLC will host a new student info night and tour for all new students that will be attending MLC in the 2022/2023 school year. This is for students that have received confirmation of being selected for the lottery to attend MLC for Kindergarten-12th grade. The event will take place from 4:00-5:00pm on May 31st on site at MLC. Kindergarten families and students will go straight into the kindergarten classroom to meet with teacher Sarah and hear more about what kindergarten looks like at MLC. All other families/students in grades 1-12 will come to the auditorium for the first half hour and then there will be two Q & A sessions and two tours running from 4:30-4:45 and 4:45-5:00pm.

We look forward to meeting you and showing you around your new school!

MLC's Electives are hands-on, activity focused classes that introduce students in the 1st-8th grades to new topics, information, and learning experiences while at the same time giving caring adults and older students the chance to share their talents, passions and interests.

Dear PPS Community, 

This summer, youth gun violence has increased throughout the country and in the city of Portland.    This year 729 shootings have occurred throughout the Portland area, impacting PPS students, families, and entire school communities. This is traumatic for all and we encourage you to support one another and anyone impacted by gun violence in our community.

Dear PPS Community,

A moderate to high heat risk forecast continues in effect for the Portland Metro area. Here are safety measures and resources to follow to prevent heat related illness:

• Multnomah County has four 24-hour cooling centers, plus libraries with air conditioning
• The Oregon Health Authority has tips to stay safe in heat
• Beat the Heat- these are tips to help you prepare for extreme heat and information on heat related illnesses
• OSHA/NIOSH Heat APP - a heat safety tool app user guide
• If you know someone in need of shelter or drinking water, please dial 2-1-1, or email help@211info.org

Dear PPS Community,

A moderate to high heat risk is forecast for the Portland Metro area starting Monday, July 25 through Thursday, July 28. During this week, we will make every attempt to make decisions about summer program pauses and schedule changes by early morning. The health and safety of our students, staff, and partners is our top priority.
