Do you need to add or remove an authorized pick-up person to your student's profile?  Visit ParentVUE and choose the "Yearly Verification" tab.  From there, click on the Emergency Contact tab and you will be able to add/remove names.  If you need to add " permission to walk home", the work around is:  in the FIRST NAME spot put "permission to" and in the LAST NAME spot put "walk home".  Please notify your child's teacher of any changes to the pick up routine.  Contact Mark at mrobb@pps.net with any questions.

• Parents / Guardians: PLEASE be sure to include the office in any and all communication regarding your student being absent. Teachers don’t always have time to forward emails to us and they are only able to mark Absent or Tardy in attendance. They cannot put in an excused absence (Vacation, Appointment, Family Emergency, etc.). Only the office can! Add email mrobb@pps.net (Mark).  OR you can leave a message on the School Attendance Line at 503-916-6256. In all cases, please be sure to leave a REASON for your students' absence. We now have to call any unexcused absence (and all new sick) students each day.

  Questions? You can always call or email the office at 503-916-6216!

Dear PPS families,

These programs are offered by our community partners and this catalog lists programs by each community partner. We also posted these opportunities on this website, where you can search listings by school and subject.

Dear PPS families,

This year our 2022 summer programs are set to begin as early as June 21. The $15m program is the most robust summer programming package in PPS and state history.

Dear PPS Community,

Earlier this year, the PPS School Board unanimously adopted one of the most aggressive school district climate crisis response policies in the nation.

We are now looking for PPS students and members of our community to join the district’s efforts to cut greenhouse gas emission in half by 2030 and make other meaningful progress on important sustainability initiatives.

Dear PPS Community,

As images have emerged of the 19 fourth-grade students and their teachers killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, they break my heart. As a parent and educator, hearing of this latest tragedy brings up heavy emotions for me. I share the grief and anger at the death of innocent children and selfless educators. This is a tragic and senseless act, and I keep each of the victims’ families in my heart.
