  • Welcome to the Office of Family & Community Engagement (FACE) at Portland Public Schools.

    We believe education is a shared responsibility between families, schools, and communities — and when we move together, our students thrive. FACE exists to build meaningful partnerships, foster trust, and create opportunities for connection that center family voice and strengthen school communities. Whether you're a caregiver, community partner, or school staff member, you are an essential part of this work. When YOU move, WE move — just like that.
