Tubman Families & Students, 
 
We will offer three final opportunities for pick up of students' individual materials bags. These bags contain textbooks, workbooks, and other learning materials which students will be needing during comprehensive distance learning.
 
Please note: If you have already picked up your student's bag, you do not need to come to the school. Times for student bag pick up this week, along with a Beginning Band instrument and Color Guard equipment pick up, are as follows:
 
Monday (9/28/20) - 3:00pm-5:00pm
Wednesday (9/30/20) - 3:00pm-7:00pm
Friday (10/2/20) - 12:00pm-3:00pm *Beginning Band instrument & Color Guard equipment pick up along with student materials pick up; Color Guard pick up is for all grades enrolled in Color Guard*
 
Pick up is located along the school doors on Flint Street. Please remember to adhere to all safety protocols in place, including face coverings and social distancing. We look forward to seeing you this week! 

Greetings, HTMS Community,

Thank you for your collaboration and patience in getting students scheduled into the most optimum class schedule possible!  At this time, new schedule requests are no longer available. 

Starting on September 2nd, the Nutrition Services Department plans to have 36 schools operating with grab and go meal services. Beginning September 14th, Ockley Green and Lane Middle Schools will begin offering grab and go meal service. There is a lot of information regarding our new grab and go meal service on the PPS Fall 2020 Meal Service website.

We hope that minimizing the meal pick up days will be less of a burden for families as opposed to asking them to come every day.

Families can now submit a new meal application for the 2020-21 school year.

Dear PPS Middle School Families,

We apologize for the confusion many students and families are feeling with regard to middle school schedules and expectations for distance learning instruction. We have worked with educators and administrators throughout this week to come to a more clear understanding related to middle school learning experience, and want to make sure you know what to expect as well.

Dear PPS Parents and Guardians,

As we welcome students back to the new school year, an important step for teachers is to understand your student’s most essential learning needs. To collect this valuable information, students will take Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments. The MAP assessment is a low stakes test – this means that the results are not used for grading students or for school accountability purposes. 

Dear PPS Families,

As the 2020-21 school year gets under way, we are excited to share news about school meals. Through our partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture, we will be able to provide school meals for all students at no cost at this time. 

Dear PPS Families,

As we shift from the soft start into ongoing virtual learning, families have shared questions about the middle grades schedules. We know you are essential partners in student learning, and we want to ensure you have answers to these commonly asked questions in one place. In case you are interested in state guidance behind the PPS schedules, we have linked information below for your reference.
