  • Good morning Ockley families and students,
     
    I hope you are doing well and staying healthy. I miss you all very much and I want you to know that Ockley staff have been working extremely hard this week to plan for distance learning to start next week. I will be reaching out later this week with more information once the district communicates more about the exact plan, and in the meantime, I wanted to share one update with you right away. The device survey has opened back up today! If you need to borrow a district laptop or device during the closure to support student learning while schools are closed, please click on the link here. There are several language options available at the beginning of the survey. 
     
    I also wanted to share that Advisory teachers have been reaching out to families and students and checking in on them this week. Advisory teachers can also help complete the device survey if you need help. Please reach out to your student's Advisory teacher or me if you have any other questions. As I shared above, I will be communicating more information later in the week as I receive it from the district. Thank you and I appreciate your patience during this unprecedented time!

    Happy Friday Ockley Green Families and Community,

     

    I hope everyone had a great week. In addition to important dates, I wanted to provide some information about Student Led Conferences on 11/25/19 and 11/26/19. By now, you should have already heard from your student's first period Advisory teacher by either email, postcard in the mail, phone, or text to schedule your student's conferences.  Advisory teachers will be reaching out again next week and the week after to continue scheduling conferences. Student Led Conferences will take place from 9 AM - 8 PM except 12 PM - 12:30 PM for teacher lunch and 5 PM - 6 PM for teacher dinner. Please bring your student with you to conferences so that they can share their hard work and presentation with you. If you would like to meet with teachers other than advisory teachers, please reach out to the individual teacher to schedule conferences. If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's first period teacher. The Ockley Green Newspaper is located here.  https://www.smore.com/7k920-ockley-green-newspaper

  • An Update Regarding Limited In-Person Opportunities

    10/15/2020
    Español| Tiếng Việt| 中文| Soomaali| Русский

    Dear PPS Families and Staff,

    We are now several weeks into Comprehensive Distance Learning, and simultaneously working on the next phases of a gradual re-opening of schools. PPS remains focused on published health metrics from the county and state and our medical experts. We also continue to observe Oregon Department of Education guidelines as we contemplate introducing limited in-person opportunities. While we are anxious to have all of our students back on campus, we will proceed in a measured and prudent manner that prioritizes the health and safety of our students and employees.

    Dear PPS Families and Staff,

    At last evening’s Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Guerrero announced plans to extend Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) through the second quarter, which ends January 28. This decision is based on the latest public health data; we are hopeful that our next announcement shortly after winter break will be different, as we would much prefer to be back in our school buildings.

  • Important Update Regarding MAP Assessments

    9/28/2020
    Español| Tiếng Việt| 中文| Soomaali| Русский
    Dear PPS Families,
    Whether in more typical circumstances or during our current Comprehensive Distance Learning mode, it’s important for our educators to have the best possible understanding of their students’ learning needs (this is one of the reasons we began the school year with our soft start, which prioritized student-teacher connections). One of the tools PPS uses to help teachers with that understanding is the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment.
