Happy to announce that the Respect “student edition” of my #Dame7 has arrived and deliveries are on their way to each Respect school. McDaniel, Parkrose and Roosevelt school colors are represented along with the Respect principles: Show Up, Work Hard and Be Kind.

The rapid rise in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant has caused a dramatic rise in absences of students and staff at Cleveland and McDaniel HS. We have reached the point where we need to close these two campuses for in-person learning starting tomorrow, January 7.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Beverly Cleary. A Portland icon, literary giant and PPS school eponym, Ms. Cleary's impact on multiple generations of young people was and will continue to be immense. May she rest in peace.

McDaniel’s students Josiah Barr and Dominique Matthews have had stellar attendance during Limited In Person Instruction. Both bring a positive attitude and have worked extremely hard when coming on campus for school. Keep working hard and enjoy your Respect #Dame7 kicks!

Roosevelt HS teachers and staff asked me to highlight Alexia Valdez! Alexia, who is a senior this year, was nominated because she has been modeling what it means to show respect to themselves, others and the community online and offline. Congratulations Alexia!

Kindergarteners at Atkinson Elementary got a big surprise during their PE class!! PE teacher Codi Sanchez applied for a grant from All Kids Bikes. The Rotary Club of Portland offered a generous donation so the school can offer this bike riding curriculum to all kindergarteners.
