Dear PPS Families,

We want to make sure you are aware of a change in meal distribution. For this week only, sacks of breakfast and lunch will be available Monday through Wednesday instead of the usual Monday through Thursday. Sacks of breakfast and lunch will be distributed outside 14 of our schools, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Dear PPS Community,

We wanted to remind you about opportunities to provide feedback on the 2020 School Bond Renewal, including one that is now open. The 2020 School Bond Renewal Survey is now available. The survey, which will allow you to share your input on priorities and approaches to funding, will be open until 5 p.m. on Friday, July 3:

Dear PPS Community,

As we prepare a school bond renewal measure to refer to voters for the November 3 election, we want to hear from you. 

Please join us on Thursday, June 25, at 6:00 p.m. for a virtual town hall. Visit pps.net/2020bondrenewal for more information and to register to participate in the town hall.

Dear PPS Families,

We have reached the last day of a school year like no other in the history of Portland Public Schools. The COVID pandemic has put a strain on everyone in our community, and while we truly hope that we have served you well through our focus on basic needs and engagement, and our overnight transition to distance learning, we know there is much for us to learn. Thank you for the patience, understanding and flexibility you and your students have shown over the last three months. 

Students who currently have a PPS issued computer and/or hotspot may keep them over the summer. Graduating seniors and students who know they will not be returning to PPS in the fall are asked to return their PPS computer and/or wireless hotspot.

Portland Public School will present a virtual arts event to showcase visual and performing works by students and teachers. The celebration will be sponsored by Artslandia and streamed live on its website: 

Dear PPS Community,

As the 2019-20 school year comes to an end, we want to update you on the services and learning opportunities we are looking forward to providing this summer as we continue to adjust to the ever-changing landscape during the coronavirus pandemic.

Dear PPS Community,

The Portland Public Schools Board of Education is hosting its annual budget town hall virtually, so that community members can be heard, even in the midst of social distancing made necessary by COVID-19. 

After an unprecedented pandemic prompted the closure of campuses for the final 13 weeks, the 2019-20 school year in Portland Public Schools will officially end on Wednesday, June 10. 

A public meeting of the Board of Education, acting in its capacity as the Budget Committee of Portland Public School District 1J, Multnomah County, Oregon, will take place during the regular School Board meeting on the 11th day of June at 6 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to receive any additional public comment related to the Superintendent’s budget message and Proposed Budget for the fiscal year July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021, which was presented on May 26.
