Faubion Families,
As this unprecedented year comes to a close, we wanted to put a few items on your radar. Also, thank you for continuing to be adaptive and patient through our distance learning time. Please reach out anytime for assistance!
You may have noticed that in many of our distance-learning schedules, small groups are a significant portion of many students’ days. Small groups are where targeted, intentional instruction and academic support takes place for our learners. The model of small groups we are able to better meet student’s needs as well as gain a sense of academic progress. We greatly encourage families to support their learner in attending their small group sessions. If a small group time slot isn’t working for your family, and another time is best for making a consistent commitment, please reach out to your teacher or student’s case-manager.
Our amazing Mr. Gunderson has found a way to continue to display Faubion’s fabulous artists in a distance learning world. Please check out our Faubion Art Gallery at https://sites.google.com/pps.net/faubionk8artgallery/home.
Are you interested in nominating your child for TAG this year? Please complete the following form by Dec 4th. If you have any additional questions about TAG, please see our TAG Parent Video or reach out to Mrs. Shaw (sshaw@pps.net).

With the “freeze” from the state, Faubion’s main office and building will remain closed. However, if you have a technology need, please contact your classroom teacher, counselor, and/or Faubion administration and we will find a way to connect and support you with any technology needs. Additionally, our pantry continues to run as already scheduled. There is no change in food supports.
We are hoping everyone is both safe and well, and that the metrics for Oregon soon allow some in-person instruction. We miss our bulldogs! If we don’t connect before the calendar year ends, please know that the staff at Faubion are here to support and help, even at a distance. We hope 2021 brings the opportunity for our community to safely come together again.
In solidarity,
Dr. Karmin Williams

Familias Faubion ,
Mientras este año sin precedentes llega a su final, queríamos poner algunas cosas en su radar. Además, gracias por seguir siendo flexibles y pacientes durante nuestro tiempo de aprendizaje en distancia. ¡Por favor, no dude en comunicarse en cualquier momento para obtener ayuda!
Es posible que haya notado que en muchos de nuestros horarios de aprendizaje a distancia, los grupos pequeños son una parte importante del día escolar de muchos estudiantes. Los grupos pequeños son donde se lleva a cabo la instrucción intencional y el apoyo académico para nuestros alumnos. El modelo de grupos pequeños nos permite satisfacer mejor las necesidades de los estudiantes, así como obtener una mejor idea de su progreso académico. Alentamos mucho a las familias que apoyen a sus alumnos para que asistan a sus sesiones de grupos pequeños. Si un horario de grupo pequeño no funciona para su familia, y otro momento sería mejor para hacer un compromiso constante, comuníquese con su maestro o el administrador de casos del estudiante.
Nuestro asombroso Sr. Gunderson ha encontrado una manera de continuar mostrando a los fabulosos artistas de Faubion en un mundo de aprendizaje a distancia. Consulte nuestra galería de arte Faubion en https://sites.google.com/pps.net/faubionk8artgallery/home.
¿Está interesado en nominar a su hijo para TAG este año? Por favor complete el siguiente formulario antes del 4 de diciembre. Si tiene alguna pregunta adicional sobre TAG, vea nuestro video para padres de TAG o comuníquese con la Sra. Shaw ( sshaw@pps.net ).

Con la "congelación" del estado, la oficina principal y el edificio de Faubion permanecerán cerrados. Sin embargo, si tiene una necesidad tecnológica, comuníquese con el maestro de su salón de clases, el consejero y / o la administración de Faubion y encontraremos una manera de conectarlo y apoyarlo con cualquier necesidad tecnológica. Además, nuestra despensa continúa funcionando según lo programado. No hay cambios en los apoyos alimentarios.
Esperamos que todos estén sanos y salvos, y que las métricas de Oregon pronto permitan algo de instrucción en persona. ¡Extrañamos a nuestros bulldogs! Si no nos conectamos antes de que finalice el año calendario, sepa que el personal de Faubion está aquí para apoyar y ayudar, incluso a distancia. Esperamos que 2021 brinde la oportunidad para que nuestra comunidad vuelva a reunirse de manera segura.
En solidaridad,
Dra. Karmin Williams
Directora de Faubion
If you are having technology difficulties, please start trouble shooting by contacting your teacher or our Technology Assistant, Isaiah Ford-Lucas (ifordlucas@pps.net). Additionally, you can go to www.pps.net/student for more assistance and support.
Dear PPS Families,
We are so grateful to our educators and our community who have continued to support our students through these times of transition this year. The presidential election and its fallout, especially the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, have been disturbing and unsettling for all of us, and the feeling of unease continues as next week’s inauguration of Joe Biden nears. We know it can be an especially difficult time for our students and we remain optimistic about the power of democracy and education as they try to make sense of the events and issues.
The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has issued adapted versions of its annual reports for every school and school district, including Portland Public Schools. The 2019-20 reports do not include data on statewide assessments, class size or attendance. That data is typically included but was not gatherable because classes were conducted online starting in March during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dear PPS Families,
I join all those in public education across the country who denounce the attack on the U.S. Capitol yesterday. The violent and ultimately failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was traumatic to witness for all of us, including our students, but I remain optimistic about their future and our country’s.
Dear PPS Community,
As we begin 2021, we want to update you on the work that has been completed in the enrollment and program balancing process. On December 17, the Southeast Guiding Coalition (SEGC) held the final meeting of Phase 1 work that focused on middle school grades and finalized its recommendations.
