Principal's Message
Hello Families,
Thank you to the many families that were able to make it to Conferences, either Virtually or in the building. The opportunity to partner with families to ensure the academic and social-emotional success of our students is greatly appreciated.
Today marked the end of a shortened grading period due to the various school closures. Please note that the grades you receive will reflect less than the normal 9 weeks of learning, resulting in fewer artifacts for teachers to assess progress. If you wish to have more information on your child's progress or you did not have the opportunity to make it to Conferences, then you can reach out directly to our teachers through email or a phone call. Emails for all our staff can be found on our website.
In Partnership,
Julie Rierson
Pronouns: she/her
Principal, Ockley Green Middle School
Statewide Testing Coming in April
Statewide testing is part of our balanced assessment system that offers all students, especially historically underserved students, opportunities to demonstrate their progress. Information provided by student assessments is critical in helping us determine district and school priorities for improving student learning.
As required by the Oregon Department of Education, we are providing you with the 30 Day Notice and Opt Out Form for Statewide Assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The notice is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Russian and Somali on the PPS Research, Assessment, and Accountability website.
