Posted on the PPS website https://www.pps.net/coronavirus are the list of food distribution sites, technology survey’s (Round 2 will be posted soon), and where to access learning for your children on the Student and Parent Portal (pps.net/student). Additionally, your child’s teacher will (if they haven’t already) be sharing with you specific sites to access for their classroom as well as log-in information. We hope to update the Llewellyn webpage as resources become available as well. If you are having trouble accessing these resources and need support, please reach out to your student’s teacher, our counselor, or myself. We will do our best to connect you to what you need.

Check out our new Counselor, Music and PE/Movement websites! They are still updating these, but you will find lots of information and fun activities for your students.

Another great option if your student likes to dance is to search "Just Dance Kids" on youtube.com and look up some of their favorite songs for them to dance along with. Finally, you can get out and take a walk together, jump rope, ride bikes or scooters (with a helmet!), go for a hike, or create a hopscotch game with sidewalk chalk. 

• PLEASE USE THE CHILD WATCH NUMBER TO REPORT ABSENSES, APPOINTMENTS AND VACATIONS

  Emailing the teacher is a great idea, but in the long run, the office has to know.  Emailing Mark or Stacey is fine, but there are times we are out of the office and don’t get your message in time.  So….

  The Llewellyn Childwatch number is the way to go because it is a message machine, so you can call any time before 8:40 am (the morning of the tardy or absence) at 503-916-6256.  Any time a student is in the system as ‘unexcused’, the District auto-dialer will call your home.  We need to have a reason for the absence (appointment, illness etc).  If you are going on vacation, please be sure to let the office know as well as the classroom teacher.

  With that being said:

  Cold and Flu Season is here

  It is that time of year again when children and adults are ill with signs and symptoms of colds, flu and other infections.  This is an excellent time to remember some healthy habits that may help us stay well:

  • Cover your cough/sneeze into your elbow
  • Wash your hands for at least 30 seconds, and wash often!  Wash after recess or gym, before eating, after using the restroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
  • Do not share food, drinks utensils, hats, combs, lip balm or other personal items.

  Keep your student home:

  • For a fever of 100.5 or higher.  Your student can return after the temperature has been below 100 for a minimum of 24 hours without the use of Tylenol or other fever-reducing medicine
  • Vomiting – symptom-free for 24 hours
  • Diarrhea – symptom-free for 24 hours
  • Coughing – your student should stay home if the cough is deep, barking, congested or productive.

Dear Llewellyn Community,

I am pleased to announce that Pamela Gwynn will become the next principal at Llewellyn Elementary School. Pam will be a familiar face to many of you, having recently served as assistant principal at Llewellyn.

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all staying positive and in good health.

I wanted to send a quick message to our students, families, and to our entire dedicated PPS team, to give you an update on what we’ve been up to since Governor Kate Brown announced schools would be closed across the state of Oregon.

Dear PPS Families and Staff,

Monday night, the Oregon Department of Education released significant new guidance, expanding “supplemental learning” to encompass “distance learning for all.” 

Dear Families of PPS High School Seniors,

This is an unprecedented time in our community, with the COVID-19 public health situation causing us all to significantly alter our day-to-day lives. We know that these changes and the disruption to our school schedule has caused confusion, stress and anxiety for students and families across the school district. For high school seniors, who should be enjoying the final weeks of their PPS careers, this is a time of particular uncertainty.
