Welcome back, Mt. Tabor Middle School students! Whether you are a new or returning student, we are excited to see you virtually in the coming days. During this first week of school, you will be participating in whole-school learning sessions and connecting with your teachers in all of your class periods. These first two weeks of school are going to be critical: you will get to know your teachers and classmates AND learn about how to navigate Canvas, the program where you will find all of your courses for distance learning.

We are so happy to have you join us!! 

Families can register new students by clicking the ENROLL button at www.PPS.net.   

You can also get paper forms and submit supporting documents through the Enrollment and Transfer Center:  enrollment-office@pps.net, or 503-916-3205.  Paper forms are available at seven food pantry sites throughout the summer: (list of sites available on the ETC Forms Page).

The message is available in supported languages on the ETC Forms Page. 

We look forward to virtually meeting you soon! 

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.
