Communicable Disease Response
Portland Public Schools (PPS) works closely with the Multnomah County Health Department (MCHD) and the Multnomah Education Service District (MESD) to monitor illness trends. If a contagious disease requires additional action, we will notify families and provide clear guidance.
Families can help prevent the spread of illness by encouraging regular handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, staying up to date with immunizations, and staying home when sick.
