    PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

    Greetings, Atkinson families,

    At Atkinson School, it is our work to help all students develop their academics and social-emotional skills. Parents can be a great partner and source of information about their child. In an effort to better serve students' individual needs, we are asking parents to complete this survey for each Atkinkson Student. The information will be used by the Student Intervention Team or the homeroom teacher to identify students who may need specialized support. For more information on the Student Intervention Teams in PPS, you can visit this site.

    MENSAJE DE LA DIRECTORA

    Saludos, familias Atkinson,

    En la escuela Atkinson, nuestro trabajo es ayudar a todos los estudiantes a desarrollar sus habilidades académicas y socioemocionales. Los padres pueden ser un gran socio y una fuente de información sobre sus hijos. En un esfuerzo por atender mejor las necesidades individuales de los estudiantes, les pedimos a los padres que completen esta encuesta para cada estudiante de Atkinson. La información será utilizada por el Equipo de Intervención Estudiantil o el maestro del salón de clases para identificar a los estudiantes que puedan necesitar apoyo especializado. Para obtener más información sobre los Equipos de Intervención Estudiantil en PPS, puede visitar este sitio.

    9/24/2024

    The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to Portland Public Schools administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”

    The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.

    Portland Public Schools’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance.

This is up from 11 schools served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.

  • McDaniel Junior Takes Top Honors in State Solo Music Contest

    6/14/2024

    When Beckham Weatherby picks up his tuba, the rest of the world falls away. 

    “I don’t get that nervous and I don’t get stage fright at all,” he said. “I guess I got lucky with how my body reacts to performing in front of crowds.”

    Which is something the McDaniel High School junior has done quite a bit of lately. Not only is he a member of the prestigious Portland Youth Philharmonic (PYP) and the PYP conservatory orchestra, but he recently earned first prize in the tuba solo performance category at the Oregon State Solo Music Championships.

  • Bon Voyage, Miss Ellie: Teacher Retires After 50 Years at PPS

    6/13/2024
    Miss Ellie helps students hold a chick.

    The first things you notice when you walk into Ellie Jensen’s classroom at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt Elementary School are peace and warmth. Then you hear the laughter of children. Then you just might see two posters hanging on the walls that tell you a great deal about the kind of teacher she has been for the past 50 years. The posters simply say, “Leave a little sparkle wherever you go” and “Be a friend.”

    Jensen, known as “Miss Ellie” to the hundreds of students she has taught in her half a century as a Portland Public Schools educator, can’t help but light up a room. And she is a friend to all children.
