Bienvenidos a este nuevo año escolar. Por primera vez en once años, Woodlawn es una Escuela Primaria. Nuestros estudiantes del 5to -7mo grado pasaron a la Escuela Media Ockley Green este otoño, juntamente con sus compañeros de Beach, Península y Chief Joseph-Ockley Green. 

This week we celebrate teaching the Native American experience, report on the feedback from the middle school planning process and much more.

The PPS school board and communications department have been working to update the district’s public records policy with an eye towards greater transparency and compliance with several new laws that were passed by the Oregon Legislature this year.

Oregon schools, including PPS, will focus more on the role of Native Americans in Oregon history, thanks to a bill passed by the state Legislature.

Senate Bill 13, which focuses on providing accurate, place-based tribal education across the state, was signed into law by Gov. Kate Brown over the summer. It directs the state Department of Education to develop curriculum and provide teacher training relating to Native American experience in Oregon.

Hundreds of Portland Public Schools parents and community members have participated in public sessions aimed at gathering comments on the proposal to open two new middle schools at Roseway Heights and Harriet Tubman.
