Yearbooks are Finally Here!

If you purchased a 2018-19 yearbook, they are available to be picked up in the main office. We also have extra copies available for $15 each. Because we have different secretarial staff for summer school, if you would like to purchase a yearbook you will need to have exact change or a check written out to "Roseway Heights".

Office hours over the summer are from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. through August 1st, Monday through Thursday.

If you chip in to help my students, you'll get awesome photos and our heartfelt thanks. Thanks so much, Jennifer Coomes, Counselor P.S. If you know anyone who may want to help my classroom, please pass this along!

Yearbooks

Unfortunately there have been unexpected delays with the yearbooks and they will not be delivered to the school until June 28th.  Once the yearbooks arrive, a message will be sent out to families so the yearbooks can be picked up. 

Summer School

Roseway Heights is hosting a summer school program that is running from June 24th through August 1st, Mondays through Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Students have been invited based on academic need, but there are still a few positions open. The summer program includes reading intervention, math intervention, and skills reinforcement through science and literacy-based hands-on activities. If you are interested in having your student participate in this opportunity, please call the main office or email Principal Ellwood at kellwood@pps.net.

Office Hours Over the Summer

The main office will be open during the summer program from 8:30-12:30 on Mondays through Thursdays from June 24th through August 1st. Regular hours from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. will resume on August 19th.

Student Google Accounts

Student accounts will be switched from @apps4pps.net to @student.pps.net on June 19,2019. Student data on Google applications will not be impacted. Once the change occurs, students should start using @student.pps.net at all the places where they currently use @apps4pps.net. This impacts any students using Dreambox, PowerUp, Lexia or other programs at home this summer.

Arts Academy

Starting this summer, we will be holding a PPS Summer Arts Academy for students going into grades 6, 7, 8, 9 from the Tubman, George, Ockley Green and Roseway Heights neighborhoods. The academy is free and all meals and transportation will be provided. There's a robust level of offerings including dance, beginning band, choir, visual arts and theatre.  http://bit.ly/PPSSUMMERARTS19

New Mascot

Students have been voting on a new mascot after submitting nominations for what they thought would be a good mascot. Here are the voting results:

The Portland Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to extend PPS Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero's current contract by another two years during its Tuesday, June 25 meeting. Since he will be entering the third year of his original contract, the Board has committed to a total of five years through June 2022 with Guerrero at the helm. The approval came after board members offered a comprehensively positive review of his performance.

A public hearing will be held by the Tax Supervising and Conservation Commission on the budget approved by the Budget Committee for Portland Public School District 1J, Multnomah County, Oregon for the fiscal year July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. The hearing will be held in the Board Auditorium at the Blanchard Education Service Center (BESC), 501 North Dixon Street, Portland, Oregon, on the 25th day of June at 3 p.m.
