Portland Public School Shares A Few Reminders And Notes As We Begin Spring Break

Press release from Portland Public Schools:

March 19, 2021

Dear PPS Families,

"As we shared last night, the PPS Board of Education approved the agreement that allows us to move forward with our plans to begin hybrid in-person instruction in April. We are happy to share this positive news before spring break and are so excited to safely welcome students and staff back into our buildings soon. Thank you to all of our students, families, educators and other staff for your continued perseverance over the past year – we couldn’t have gotten this far without your strength and support.

We want to remind you that, following spring break:

• PreK through first graders will engage in asynchronous learning March 29-31, then begin the hybrid in-person instruction schedule on April 1 and 2. Your school will follow up with more information about the specific schedule for April 1 and 2.
• Grades 2-5 will engage in asynchronous learning March 29-April 2, then begin the hybrid in-person instruction schedule on April 5.
• Grades 6-12 will continue to follow our Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) model after spring break until the week of April 19, when we will begin the hybrid in-person instruction schedule for those students. Please check your email for the 4th Quarter Learning Choice form to let us know your preference for hybrid in-person instruction or continuing with distance learning.

We will share more information in the coming days to prepare you and your student for the rest of the school year. In the meantime, please visit our PPS Reopen webpage for important updates and information about reopening.

We wish you a safe and peaceful spring break."
