Principal's Welcome

  • Welcome to Sitton!

    We are an amazing, diverse community serving 400 talented students! 

    We offer a well-rounded program grounded in the belief that when students and teachers are engaged in work that is challenging, adventurous, and meaningful, learning and achievement flourish.  A few important elements of our school’s model include:

    • our use of Wit & Wisdom and Benchmark Advanced / Adelante (DLI) in grades K-5 to provide an integrated Reading, Writing, Social Studies and Science approach.
    • our use of standards-based mathematics instruction, iReady Math.
    • our philosophy and support for inclusion of students with identified special needs.
    • our dual language immersion program in Spanish in grades K-5.
    • our partnerships with families and the community including SUN Community After School and YEP (Youth Empowerment Program). Every First Friday we hold a community celebration and farmer's market highlighting student performances, tables from a variety of Community & School Partners as well as our Food Bank and Clothing Closet Resources.
    • our commitment to engaging enrichment activities including Library, Physical Education, Visual Arts, and Music.

    We communicate with families through various means including our weekly family newsletter in English and Spanish; our Facebook page (please click on the Facebook icon); through text messaging; and more.  Should you have any questions, worries, wonders, or ideas, please do not hesitate to connect, come to Principal’s Coffee on the second Friday of the month, PTA on the first Thursday of the month, or Site Council & Family Leadership Team on the third Wednesday of the month.  Our updated calendar can be found on the calendar tab of this website.

    Thank you for sharing your amazing students with us every day!

    Sincerely,

    Becky Berry, Principal

    Last spring, when Portland Public Schools moved to ensure that every middle school in the district had an active advisory program, the focus was on relationship building and giving students and teachers the tools needed to nurture a sense of belonging.

    The goals for the advisory programs were clear. What the district had yet to arrive at was a curriculum that would help everyone achieve those goals.

    Principal Phu Dao is many things to the students and staff of Roseway Heights Middle School: mentor, role model, champion, friend. Ask anyone who has learned from and worked with him and they will tell you that he has dedicated his entire career to advocating for students, families, and educators. And now he’s being honored for that dedication.

    Courageous Conversation, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit that works with individuals and institutions to address racial disparities through sustained, fruitful dialogue, has named Principal Dao this year’s recipient of the Dr. Charles Hopson Racial Equity Principal Leadership Award.
