Dear Parents and Guardians of future Harriet Tubman Middle School students:

A group of parents representing all four feeder schools is proposing to create a Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) for Harriet Tubman Middle School. We want to get feedback from parents about this proposal.  We are strongly committed to creating a parent-teacher-student association that is reflective of the overall Harriet Tubman school community and that is explicitly organized to address issues of access, inclusion, academic achievement, equity, and social justice for every student. We want the new PTSA to embody and support the mission of the Harriet Tubman Middle School Community.
We are asking for your reply of an electronic survey by noon on Friday, August 31.

Welcome Tubman Middle School families! We hope your student enjoys their new school and chooses to join us for school meals.
What meals are available for my student during the 2018-19 school year?

Starting in September 2017, PPS conducted several months of Harriet Tubman Middle School community engagement meetings at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt, Irvington, Martin Luther King Jr., and Sabin schools. These included an open house attended by 450 people, and several tours of the building with families, community members and staff.  Updates were provided at each meeting, by Principal Natasha Butler, district leadership and other staff.

Harriet Tubman Alumni and Community Partners,
 
We are excited about the re-opening of Harriet Tubman Middle School and the promise of academic excellence and opportunity for students and families in North and Northeast. We believe that our success will be rooted in the efforts of alumna who have once attended Harriet Tubman Middle School and understand the importance of leveraging the skills and experiences of those that have paved the way.

In this week's PPS Pulse: Creative Science students use podcasts to fund cancer research; Cleveland girls soccer excels in classroom

For the second year in a row, Cleveland High School produced the top academic girls soccer team in the state. The Warriors finished with the highest cumulative grade-point average among not just Class 6A teams, but girls soccer teams in all classifications in Oregon in the OnPoint Community Credit Union Academic All-State Awards.

Creative Science School’s motto is, “Encouraging students to be independent thinkers, learners, and problem solvers.” An ongoing project to raise money for cancer research shows just how much the K-8 school’s student live up to the motto.
