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 Families,

We are so grateful to our educators and our community who have continued to support our students through these times of transition this year. The presidential election and its fallout, especially the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, have been disturbing and unsettling for all of us, and the feeling of unease continues as next week’s inauguration of Joe Biden nears. We know it can be an especially difficult time for our students and we remain optimistic about the power of democracy and education as they try to make sense of the events and issues.

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has issued adapted versions of its annual reports for every school and school district, including Portland Public Schools. The 2019-20 reports do not include data on statewide assessments, class size or attendance. That data is typically included but was not gatherable because classes were conducted online starting in March during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dear PPS Families,

I join all those in public education across the country who denounce the attack on the U.S. Capitol yesterday. The violent and ultimately failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was traumatic to witness for all of us, including our students, but I remain optimistic about their future and our country’s.

Dear PPS Community,

As we begin 2021, we want to update you on the work that has been completed in the enrollment and program balancing process. On December 17, the Southeast Guiding Coalition (SEGC) held the final meeting of Phase 1 work that focused on middle school grades and finalized its recommendations.
