Portland Evening Scholars is resuming classes online beginning the week of April 6, 2020.  All of our teachers have been reaching out to their Evening Scholars students to check in, establish a ‘virtual connection’, and to discuss what the new format of teaching will look like for their class.  See below for a list of our staff, their email addresses, and their ‘office hours’. 

If your student has not heard from their teacher, please have them check their PPS email account and please remind them that PPS has migrated all email over to Gmail.  Again, all PPS email accounts need to be accessed via Gmail; students can log in using their PPS userID and password.  Any student registered for a PPS class has been provided their own PPS email account.  If your student does not know their PPS email account, please have them communicate to their teacher (listed below) to establish the connection prior to classes starting up again. 

Every teacher is holding office hours for 1.5 hours on the same night their class was originally offered.  This is a time for students to be online and able to video conference with their teacher, receive direct instruction, and to receive new assignments. 

Important:  If your student has not heard from their teacher yet, the two things they must do are:

1.       Check their PPS email account via Gmail.

2.       Reach out to their teacher to gain insight into how class will be offered.

We all hope you and your families are staying healthy and are as minimally impacted by this current pandemic as possible.  Our staff are looking forward to supporting their students and doing what they can to get our education system back to some form of normal and routine.  This is a time for all of us to extend extra patience and support for each other as we are all learning how to live life a bit differently. 

Take care and thank you for your support,

The Evening Scholars Staff

Dear PPS Parents and Guardians,

 

We know this is a time of transition as we move from school buildings to home-based distance learning for the duration of this closure. In order to continue to work in similar ways with our students as we did in our buildings, principals, teachers and counselors will need to be able to communicate with you and your students while maintaining safety and privacy for all. Because of this situation, we are partnering with Remind to provide a simple platform for all of us to engage together. 

The disruption to daily life during the coronavirus crisis has hit all corners of society. For students, it has meant not being able to attend school. Staff in the PPS Student Success and Health department have gathered tips to help you help your student cope:

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all staying positive and in good health.

I wanted to send a quick message to our students, families, and to our entire dedicated PPS team, to give you an update on what we’ve been up to since Governor Kate Brown announced schools would be closed across the state of Oregon.

Dear PPS families,

Any PPS high school student that is in need of a device can now go to any of the nine distribution sites this Thursday or Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. to receive a chromebook. Even if you did not already fill out a device loan survey, you may still pick up a device at:
