PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Greetings, Atkinson families,
Tomorrow Portland Public Schools begins the annual Successful Schools Survey. The Survey is an opportunity for families to provide important feedback on their school environments, learning experiences, and sense of well-being and safety at school. Students in grades 4 & 5 will take a version at school. Staff also take the survey.
We value your input and opinions and commit to reviewing the data with our Instructional Leadership Team and School Site Council, but in order to do this, we need a high response rate.
You can complete the Successful Schools Survey online using the link provided below. Please complete one survey per household. If you have more than one student at PPS, we ask that you complete the survey considering the experiences of your eldest child.
The survey will take approximately 15–30 minutes to complete and is available in English, Spanish, Russian, Somali, Vietnamese, and Chinese.

MENSAJE DE LA DIRECTORA
Saludos, familias Atkinson,
Mañana, las Escuelas Públicas de Portland comienzan la Encuesta anual de escuelas exitosas. La encuesta es una oportunidad para que las familias brinden comentarios importantes sobre sus entornos escolares, experiencias de aprendizaje y sensación de bienestar y seguridad en la escuela. Los estudiantes de cuarto y quinto grado responderán una versión en la escuela. El personal también responderá la encuesta.
Valoramos sus comentarios y opiniones y nos comprometemos a revisar los datos con nuestro Equipo de Liderazgo Educativo y el Consejo del Sitio Escolar , pero para ello necesitamos una alta tasa de respuesta.
Puede completar la encuesta de escuelas exitosas en línea utilizando el enlace que se proporciona a continuación. Complete una encuesta por hogar. Si tiene más de un estudiante en PPS, le solicitamos que complete la encuesta teniendo en cuenta las experiencias de su hijo mayor.
La encuesta tardará aproximadamente entre 15 y 30 minutos en completarse y está disponible en inglés, español, ruso, somalí, vietnamita y chino.

If you’re ever lucky enough to tag along with Tom Myers and his bird club at Skyline School, you’ll most likely notice a few things: that Skyline in the early morning can be a breathtakingly beautiful place, and that if you have a question about birds – or the natural world in general – the man his students call “Teacher Tom” can almost certainly answer it.
PPS is hosting a series of events that focus on Belonging, Equity & Inclusive Practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries aimed at starting a productive conversation about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.
As part of this series, we are excited to welcome you to a live virtual event, Including Samuel, on Monday, October 28 at 5:30 PM at OMSI Empirical Theater. The event will include a screening of Dan Habib’s film, “Including Samuel,” and a conversation with him and his son, Samuel.
The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to Portland Public Schools administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”
The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.
Portland Public Schools’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance.
The renewable, school-based mental health grant will be used to provide comprehensive school psychology services to 18 Title I schools across the district for the 2024-25 school year. This is up from 11 schools served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.
