Dear PPS Families and Students,

The start of this school year has been among the most challenging in our collective experience. The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have stretched every person and every aspect of our lives. School districts nationally, including ours, are experiencing staffing shortages that have had a significant impact on our educators, students and school communities. We also know that after more than 18 months of learning virtually, our students learn best in-person.

With the holidays upon us, we’re getting into the coldest time of the year, when snow becomes a greater possibility. It’s a good time for a reminder on how we keep you informed on school closures when inclement weather brings life in Portland to a halt. Here are the ways we get that information to you:

The Grant High School girls soccer team made history Saturday, winning the first state championship in program history. In a back-and-forth game in the Class 6A final at Hillsboro Stadium, senior Elle Frazier scored 5 minutes, 19 seconds into overtime to give the Generals a 4-3 win over Beaverton.

As we get deeper into the 2021-22 school year, we continue to take and promote measures to keep our students, families and staff safe from COVID-19. Here is a roundup of those resources.

This year’s health and safety measures can be found on the PPS.net/BacktoSchool2021 webpage.

School Supplies for all students have been purchased by the school.  Supply cost is $60 per student. We are asking families for a suggested donation of $60 to cover the cost. If you are able to pay more, it will go towards the scholarship of other students. If you are not able to pay the full amount, please pay what you can. Abernethy-School-Supplies-2021-2022 click to make a donation. If you are able please contribute by Sept 1 so we can cover the cost of the supplies we have ordered.
