Resources for Educators
-
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to ensuring that the whole child’s needs are met in Portland Public Schools. This page is not meant to be all inclusive, instead it is meant to give an overview of some resources that are available. The resources are separated by substance type and include videos, posters, brochures and some classroom lessons. If you think there is an area or topic where we need to include more or different information, please email Mary Krogh, District Coordinator of Substance Use Supports for Students.
