Faubion Families,
We have had a wonderful start to the 2023-2024 school year! On our many “first days”, it was great to welcome numerous smiling bulldogs and their families. We are also really enjoying the last sunny days of summer!
Below are a few bits of important information for our families/caregivers!
We have an Events Calendar on our Faubion website. Check it out! We hope to see you all at our incredible evenings! The calendar also notes various “no school” and “late start” days. Please note the two “Late Start” days (Oct 4 & Jan 25). These impact the entire school, though the district focus of these mornings is on professional learning for our middle school social/emotional curricular tools. Our PK-5 educators will also be diving into their social/emotional curricular tools as well.
SUN School!
We will be launching SUN registration this week. We are slated to start SUN classes September 25th.
September 27th, Faubion will be conducting its first “Lock-down” drill. This drill focuses on keeping students/staff and classrooms safe when there is a threat inside of the building. As you can imagine, this can be a challenging experience for many. Please be sure to talk to your child about the importance of practicing for emergency drills and how all the staff at Faubion are here to keep all our bulldogs safe. You may find helpful resources at https://www.pps.net/Page/844.
As always, we love having our students’ caregivers and families volunteer in the classroom, at lunch/recess, on field trips, etc. Interested in volunteering? The first step is to be cleared through PPS’s volunteer process at www.pps.net/volunteer.
We are looking forward to an incredible 2023-2024 school year. Thank you for your constant support and care of the Faubion community!
In partnership,
Dr. Karmin Williams
Principal, Faubio PK-8 School

Familias de Faubion,
¡Hemos tenido un maravilloso comienzo del año escolar 2023-2024! Durante los varios “primeros días”, fue fantástico recibir a numerosos bulldogs sonrientes y a sus familias. ¡También estamos disfrutando mucho de los últimos días soleados del verano!
¡A continuación se presenta información importante para nuestras familias/tutores de familia!
Disponemos de un Calendario de Eventos en nuestro sitio web Faubion . ¡Échenle un vistazo! ¡Esperamos verlos a todos en nuestras increíbles veladas! El calendario también señala varios días de “no clases” y de “inicio tardío”. Tengan en cuenta los dos días de “inicio tardío” (4 de octubre y 25 de enero). Estos impactan a toda la escuela, aunque el enfoque del distrito en estas mañanas es el aprendizaje profesional para nuestras herramientas curriculares socioemocionales de la escuela intermedia. Nuestros educadores de PK-5 también explorarán sus herramientas curriculares sociales y emocionales.
¡Escuela SOL/SUN!
Lanzaremos el registro SUN esta semana. Estamos programados para comenzar las clases SUN el 25 de septiembre .
El 27 de septiembre , Faubion llevará a cabo su primer simulacro de “Aislamiento”. Este simulacro se enfoca en mantener seguros a los estudiantes, al personal y a los salones de clases cuando existe una amenaza dentro del edificio. Como pueden imaginar, esta puede ser una experiencia desafiante para muchos. Asegúrense de hablar con su hijo sobre la importancia de practicar simulacros de emergencia y cómo todo el personal de Faubion está aquí para mantener seguros a todos nuestros bulldogs. Puede encontrar recursos útiles en https://www.pps.net/Page/844.
Como siempre, nos encanta que las familias y tutores de nuestros estudiantes sean voluntarios en el salón de clases, durante el almuerzo/recreo, en excursiones, etc. ¿Está interesado en ser voluntario? El primer paso es ser aprobado a través del proceso de voluntariado de PPS en www.pps.net/volunteer .
Con mucha emoción estamos esperando un increíble año escolar 2023-2024. ¡Gracias por su constante apoyo para la comunidad Faubion!
En solidaridad,
Dra. Karmin Williams
Director, Escuela Faubio PK-8
Today was disappointing – for us but, most importantly, for our students and families. The Portland Association of Teachers offered no counter proposals – and yet declared impasse.
Today, we offered compromises that would both reward our educators and further our students’ success. We were able to raise our compensation offer substantially. We are not there yet, but we are committed to the hard work of finding common ground.
Today, we started the state-led mediation process with one priority: our children’s success. We offered compromises that would keep that vision at the heart of our work – and maintained our position on proposals that would negatively impact students.
On behalf of the Board of Education and district leaders at PPS, our best wishes for a positive and joyful start to your school year!
