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.

Dear Colleagues,
