    Franklin Community:

     

    Sunday, March 10th is the beginning of daylight savings time; when we move our clocks forward allowing for evening daylight to last longer. While we may be impacted by the loss of an hour of sleep, I want to challenge us to consider the possibilities associated with this inevitable act. 

     

    Let’s go beyond just moving our clocks forward; let’s also move forward with our thinking and actions. Springing forward allows us an opportunity to explore possibilities and consider new realities.  Being forward with our thinking assists us with planning and preparing for what is to come.  Talk with your students about using this time to reflect on what lies ahead, to consider what strategies they may wish to implement to assist their progress, and what supports they may need to help them reach their goals.

    Successful School Survey Extended

    The survey window for families has been extended until March 8th. Our Family response rate was only 16% as a school community; well below our goal.  If you haven’t had an opportunity to participate here is your chance.  

    Survey Access: Families of students in all grades will be able to access their surveys by going tosurveys.panoramaed.com/portlandor/ppsfamily.   You will then select our school to complete the survey.

    You can also use the PPS Family Survey Access Flier-All Languages.

    We want to hear from you!
