It seemed to fly by. I want to thank Regina and Brenda for their work over the past month. They have worked tirelessly applying for a very large Verizon Innovations Grant that would be a game changer for our STEAM and Technology programs. It has been a frustrating process and we are not at the finish line. In fact, we may not be able to complete the application....long story.  A year ago we would have not had the capacity to focus on something of this nature. We are growing and moving f...

The main/cafeteria parking lot is more crowded now that we have lost some parking. Please be mindful of your parking to ensure that others can utilize spots. I will also share this with the Inline workers There have been several reports of some cars parked in a way that does not allow the spots next to them to be utilized. I myself had to crawl through the passenger side of my daughter's car this morning because the people I live with need some parking lessons. It wasn't a great start to my morning! District Instructional Framework posters are on the counter in the office. Please feel free to pick one up and use it in your room. They do serve as good reminders of our work!   On January 29 th  our construction partners will be doing some air balancing work that will fix any noise problems staff are having In the classrooms. Just an FYI that you may have people in your rooms.  If you have any Title One Compacts from conferences please give them to Shannon, Spencer, Regina, ...

 As a reminder SUN is running Monday through Thursday until 5:30. Students should be with their adult supervisor. If you are keeping students after school please ensure the office is aware of who these students are in the event we get a parent call. If students are with you after school they should be with you until their departure.  Please remember no students should be leave classes during dead week. We will be in dead week tomorrow and Friday. This is to ensure students are not missing tests, assessments, presentations, etc. If you have input on this please provide it to your ILT rep or admin. This was an agreement we made before the start of the school year.  Let's get the road around HP fixed!  Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) will prioritize needed repairs based on reports from the public. 3 Ways to report a pothole, sinkhole, or emergency road:  Call the Pothole Hotline: 503-823-BUMP (2867) Email:  PDXroads@ portlandoregon.gov Online/Smart Ph...

 Thank you for your long evening. Hopefully, you found conferences to be beneficial and were able to touch base with families.  A reminder that those who teach 8th graders are asked to come to a meeting tomorrow morning at 8:20. We will use Mr.Benson's room, 189. This is for the student success team. More information tomorrow.  We will not be MAP testing tomorrow. We will finish up (hopefully) next Tuesday the 30th. As a reminder tomorrow "dead week" begins and students should not be pulled out of classes, etc. 

Conferences are tomorrow night from 4:30-7:30. We will set up rooms as we did the last time. Title One Compacts will be sent to conferences with families as they come in. Dinner hosted by our PTA will begin at 3:45.  I will be out of the building for Instructional Rounds at Hosford tomorrow. I should be back by 12:30.  A reminder we are testing MAP testing tomorrow.  1st-3rd Period-  8th Grade 3rd & 4th Period-  7th Grade (8th graders who still need to complete tests as well) 6th & 7th Period - 6th Grade as well as 7th and 8th graders who need to complete tests.  If you have a student who is on the testing list and it is imperative to their grade they need to be in class please let Thersa know. This would only be the case if you are having students take a test/assessment or they have to do a presentation.  It is my understanding the movers will be here to move staff into their new offices tomorrow. There are some loose ends to tie up in regards...

Monday the 22nd Tuesday the 23rd -  MAPS Testing Schedule Forthcoming SIT Team Meeting @ 2:25 In Person Conferences 4:30-7:30 Wednesday the 24th- Dead "Week" Begins 8th Grade Teams Work (District) @ 8:20 Thursday the 25th Two-Hour Late Start  Friday the 26th We made it. I did not think when we walked away on Friday the 12th we would not return until the 22nd. While the family time was nice, and the second week of Winter Break seemed to have happened, I know the stress of the end of the term and the crunch for time are going to smack us back into reality Monday morning. We will make adjustments as needed. I am thankful the building fared well. We had a few leaks that were quickly remedied. A hatch blew open above the cafeteria and another area sustained a few leaks but overall nothing major. This was not the case in some PPS schools. I know Robert Grey will be shut down for at least the rest of this next week and a few others will be out for additional time as well.  Monda...

 UGH. I could clean out closets and scrub my baseboards. I have worked, but I am definitely ready to get back to the building to be with you all! There are many things we will look at for next week. I am hoping to get some clarification tomorrow on a few items. Sit tight. I will communicate with the Weekly Forecast.  In the meantime continue to stay warm. I hope this time has provided you with some rest and family time. My dogs are not happy about the conditions outside, but they LOVE having plenty of couch time with mom. Tonight is the worst we have had; there is a lot of loud cracking and thuds outside. Fingers crossed...well there went the power. Seriously. Thank goodness for my VILS device. Take care.
