Thanks to all of you who have already responded to our latest Successful Schools Family Survey. If you have not yet participated, please do. The survey will only take 15-20 minutes of your time. Each school has a goal of at least 50% of the families participating. Ockley is being measured on this goal and will receive incentives from the district if we meet this goal. We are only at 12% participation as of this week.
We really want to know more about your family’s experience at our school, and surveys such as this are a valuable way to help us align our vision with your interests and needs.
Take the survey today! You can complete the survey from a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Select the school your child attends. If you have children at more than one PPS school, please complete one survey for each school your children attend. If you need help taking the survey, please contact your school secretary.

Thank you so much!
Greetings Ockley Green Families,
Please be advised that students will be receiving their initial second semester schedules on 1/23/19. Most students will see very few changes and most changes that do occur will be shifts to elective classes. These changes are most often created by our master scheduling software as it works to honor students’ preferences with regard to the variety of diverse elective opportunities our school offers. In some instances, students’ schedules might also change to meet requirements for their enrollment in health and/or movement classes. Some scheduling adjustments have additionally been made based on new opportunities for reading support classes. Similarly, our math offerings have also been improved in order to lower class sizes and provide greater opportunities for math support.
As has been done previously, schedule change request forms will be available shortly after the start of the semester. Due to limitations with our district’s Synergy scheduling software we are unable to process schedule change request forms until after the semester starts. An announcement will be be made in students’ advisory classes as soon as the forms are able to be provided. Schedule change request forms will be placed outside of the Student Support Team office (room 228). These forms will be processed as quickly as possible by our school counseling staff (Jillian Stone and Brian Meyer). We will work to honor all change requests as best as possible.
For those using StudentVue or ParentVue, please be advised that due to certain technical limitations with our district’s Synergy scheduling software, students viewing their second semester schedules through those portals may see some duplicate courses, unexpected additional periods, or similar errors. Our PPS IT team has been made aware of these issues and we are working with them to resolve them. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Ockley Green Admin Team
In this week's Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary celebrates its diverse cultures; meet the poodle who helps students read aloud
The PPS Visioning initiative reached some major milestones in January and we are ready to get back out to the community in the next few weeks!
Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary has one of the most diverse student bodies in Portland Public Schools, and on Friday it held a dual event that reflected that diversity. The Global Celebration included elements tied into Black History Month and the Lunar New Year as well as other cultures in the school community.
Raquel Laiz has a new job with Portland Public Schools this school year, but she has been honored for her work at her previous position in the district. Laiz was one of nine counselors around the country to win a Counselors That Change Lives Award.
