If you did not complete this re-link in June or later you may no longer be earning valuable Community Rewards for Alameda.  Please check to confirm that your Fred Meyer Rewards card is linked to Alameda by visiting: www.fredmeyer.com/communityrewards.

Remember by signing up for Fred Meyer Community Rewards you can earn money for Alameda Elementary at no cost to you. You still earn your Rewards Points, Fuel Points, and Rebates!

If you do not have a Rewards Card, they are available at the Customer Service desk of any Fred Meyer store.

After entering your family contact information, you’ll be taken to our online store, where you can purchase a membership online using PayPal, or you can print out an invoice and send it in with a check in your child’s backpack or drop them off at the Alameda school office.

We look forward to working with all of our families this year and are confident that with the help of our community 2018-2019 will be yet another fantastic year at Alameda School! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at ptamembership@alamedaschool.org.

On April 12, the Muslim community around the world prepares to start the celebration of Ramadan. PPS is a diverse district and many of our students and families will be joining in the celebrations. 

Dear PPS Families, 

As we prepare to have our middle and high school students back in buildings, the PPS Transportation Department would like to share some reminders and updates to help get your student to school safely and on time if they are riding a bus to participate in hybrid in-person learning. Bus route and bus stop information for students in grades 6-12 will be available on the PPS Transportation website on or before April 14.

Dear PPS Families,

The countdown for in-person hybrid learning continues. We want to remind you that all staff and students are required to wear a mask during in-person hybrid learning. This helps us maintain a safe and healthy school environment for everyone and is a requirement for in-person learning.

Dear PPS Families,

We hope that you had a safe and enjoyable spring break. We have been working hard to put the finishing touches on the safe return of students to our schools for hybrid learning. We are excited to see students in grades 2-5 at schools, starting Monday!
