We had an AMAZING time at Back to School Night! Thank you to the plethora of families who were able to attend! Next year, we are going to look into a hybrid model with childcare offered to eliminate some barriers to attendance. If you were not able to attend, please reach out and connect with your teacher(s) to see if they have a slideshow they could share.

For our part, here is the district  and info.

And THANK YOU to our AMAZING staff for making the night memorable! We appreciate all of you and all you do!

Hello!

My name is DC Re-Bloom.  I have the distinct honor of serving as principal at the Elizabeth Hayhurst School, located on the ancestral home of the Atfalati band of the Kalapuya people, in SW èßäapp¹ÙÍø. Our community works relentlessly to uphold the memory of our namesake: the first president of the Oregon Parent Teacher Association in the early 1900’s.  With her work as our guideposts, we put community at the center of everything we do.  We know, beyond a doubt, that when educators, students, families, and neighborhoods come together, true equitable and democratic societies flourish and all students achieve at high levels. 

Please take a moment to peruse our weekly newsletter, The Hayhurst Husky Howl, and our brand new website.  And, if there's ever anything you need, please reach out: 503-916-6300.  Or email me at drebloom@pps.net.

In service,

DC 

If you’re ever lucky enough to tag along with Tom Myers and his bird club at Skyline School, you’ll most likely notice a few things: that Skyline in the early morning can be a breathtakingly beautiful place, and that if you have a question about birds – or the natural world in general – the man his students call “Teacher Tom” can almost certainly answer it.

èßäapp¹ÙÍø is hosting a series of events that focus on Belonging, Equity & Inclusive Practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries aimed at starting a productive conversation about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities. 

As part of this series, we are excited to welcome you to a live virtual event, , on Monday, October 28 at 5:30 PM at . The event will include a screening of Dan Habib’s film, “Including Samuel,” and a conversation with him and his son, Samuel.

The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to èßäapp¹ÙÍø administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”

The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.

èßäapp¹ÙÍø’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance. 

The renewable, school-based mental health grant will be used to provide comprehensive school psychology services to 18 Title I schools across the district for the 2024-25 school year. This is up from 11 schools served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.
