Hi Riders,
Last weekend was the St. Johns Parade. It’s always so great to see our community spirit and pride as we kick off the Rose Festival season! Prom is this weekend. Any student that wants to attend and has 90% or better attendance gets a free ticket. Make sure to get a ticket, we won’t let students in at the door without a pre-purchased ticket. Leadership will be selling tickets all week! SENIORS - there are 14 days left in your high school career. Parents of seniors - help your student finish strong. Progress Reports are available in ParentVue now and are being mailed home soon. If your student is not passing a class, reach out now to their teacher and/or counselor.
Go Riders!

Hi Riders,
Thanks to everyone who joined us for Unity Fest on Friday! It is always such a lovely event celebrating our students. Our student leaders did an amazing job planning and coordinating the event this year. This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Take a minute to let a teacher know how they have helped your student. Teachers often don’t know the impact they make, so sharing a quick note means a lot!

Hi Riders,
Spring is here! As the weather gets nice, we sometimes see students opting to come in late or leave early on bright, sunny days. Please remind your student that attendance matters! When we look at grades, students who are here and in class everyday are passing all, or most, of their classes. If you feel your student needs help making an attendance plan, reach out to their school counselor. Quarter three grades are posted in ParentVue. If you get report cards mailed to you, they should be in your mailbox this week. If you have questions about grades, please reach out. We have nine weeks left of school, and we want everyone finishing strong.
Go Riders!

Hi Riders,
Winter sports have officially ended this week. Boys’ basketball had a tough loss to Westview this weekend. Good luck to the Jefferson Girls’ team! They are the only PIL team who made it to the Chiles Center this year.
Progress Reports were due last week, so you should be able to see your students’ progress report grade in ParentVue or you will be getting a copy mailed home to you later this week.
Seniors had a senior meeting last Wednesday to go over graduation requirements and talk about graduation. Look on the senior class page on our website for more information.

Progress Reports were posted last week, so you can access your students’ grades through ParentVue. We will be mailing home progres reports to those families that opted out of the electronic option. Please reach out if you need any information about your students’ grades.

Hi Riders,
Thank you to everyone who came to the Public Education Forum last Thursday. We had over 100 people there to ask our elected officials in Salem questions about how to adequately fund schools. Winter sports are coming to an end. Thank you to all of the athletes and parents who participated in winter sports, and a huge thank you to our coaches for all they do each day to support the success of our athletes both in and out of the classroom.

Hi Riders,
This week will be our annual Black History Month Assembly. Our Black Student Union creates this celebration each year, and I look forward to seeing what they will be performing this year.
We have some upcoming events for our community. Thursday, February 20th is a Forum on Funding for Public Education with our elected officials from North Portland. Come to Roosevelt at 7pm on Thursday to hear how our elected officials are working to ensure stable school funding. This event is open to the entire North Portland community. We will be hosting two events in March for families with questions around immigration. Those events are open to families of PPS students in North Portland only.
I know there have been questions about support for our LGBTQIA2+ students after some decisions at the federal level - especially decisions about pulling support for our transgender students across the United States. Roosevelt continues to be a place where all students are welcome and are encouraged to come to school as their authentic selves. Our community is stronger because of the rich diversity in our student body. Part of that diversity is our LGBTQIA2+ students and staff. The Oregon Department of Education released a LGBTQIA+ Student Success Plan a few years ago and stated “We set forth this plan...to establish strategies to increase inclusivity, increase student belonging, reduce bullying, address bias-based harassment and campus assaults, and improve attendance.” At Roosevelt, we will continue to follow this plan and other guidance from ODE and the State of Oregon If you or your student has questions or wants support, please reach out to their counselor.

They highlighted the student-led and planned Black History Month assembly that will be on February 21st this year. Thank you to all of the work that our students are doing to create spaces to highlight excellence across our school and in our history.

Hi Riders,
Happy first full week of Semester 2! We know that the weather is touch–and-go this week. Listen for any school closures, late starts, or other changes to our schedule because of the weather. I don’t think we will have any lasting snow this week, but you never know. Stay warm!

Hi Riders,
Welcome to the second semester! It’s hard to believe that half of the school year is over.
I know that there have been a lot of questions about some of the recent executive orders about schools and immigration. Roosevelt High School welcomes and values all students, and we believe that our students new to the United States bring so many strengths to our community. All students, regardless of national origin or documentation status, are welcome here. We will continue to honor the Sanctuary designations that our state and city have put in place. Oregon Department of Education put out a statement last week that said “Oregon schools are still prohibited from providing information or assistance to immigration officials unless required by a judicial subpoena.” We will continue to keep our immigrant students safe at school.
If you have questions about immigration and/or how to ensure your family has the information you need, join us for one of our Know Your Rights events open to all PPS families in North Portland. These events will be March 6th and March 14th. More information will be coming soon!

Earthstock 2025 was a huge success!
Each year, special education students from across the region gather at Portland's Crystal Ballroom for a truly unique and uniquely joyful high school dance.
Earthstock began in 1992 at the request of a young student who was confined to a wheelchair and was disappointed he couldn’t attend the high school dances because of transportation issues. There were 60 kids at the first event. Earthstock now entertains more than 700 students, staff and volunteers, and is rapidly becoming one the largest events of its kind in the country.
Students at Skyline school were recently treated to a visit from PPS teacher-turned-graphic novelist Aron Nels Steinke.
Steinke is the award-winning author and illustrator behind the popular Mr. Wolf's Class series. He also taught at Skyline during the 2015-16 school year.
During his visit to Skyline, he opened up to a group of third, fourth, and fifth graders about how he got started as an author despite struggling to read and write in school. He also read a short excerpt from his newest book, Speechless.
Speechless tells the story of Mira, a sixth grader who spends her first year of middle school finding herself and her voice. Skyline students were some of the book's first readers. We can't wait to see what Mr. Steinke writes next!
On May 2, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson delivered his first state of the city address at Franklin High School.
Members of the district and Franklin student councils had the chance to hear Wilson speak about his plans and vision for Portland’s future. Student Representative JJ Kunsevi opened the panel with a powerful question about education funding and the impact on students.
It was an evening that put public education front-and-center and a chance for PPS student leaders to shine.
