Is your student in the show?
- Please make sure you are aware of
all call times and check Ms.
Accuardi’s website for information.
- Volunteers
needed! With seven shows and over 100 students in the
production, we need help for each one. Please sign up.
- Thanks to the families that
contributed snacks throughout the rehearsal days.
- Call times are generally 1.5 hours
before the show times and students should leave campus until call time. We
cannot supervise students between the end of the school day and call
time.
- Are you able to pay the Materials
Fee? The suggested $25 helps cover the licensing fee and
production costs.
- Invite your friends to come see the
show! It's going to be fantastic.
Please use SchoolPay to pre-purchase your yearbook. Yearbooks will be distributed on the last day of school. We welcome photo submissions! If you have any great shots from this year, please contact Daniel Menche at dmenche@pps.net for a link to the Google drive to upload or you can email photos directly to him.
Save the date for the da Vinci Auction, April 19 at BodyVox. Tickets will be on sale soon and we’d love a few more team members to make this year’s event a success. Here’s the signup if you can join the team or commit to day-of tasks.
Sponsored by Mt. Tabor MS and Glencoe ES PTAs, the final event in this series is March 5th at Taborspace, 5441 SE Belmont St. from 5:30 - 8 pm. The topic is Racism and Education in Portland Public Schools. Pizza and childcare are available on request.
Here’s the last call for parents and guardians to complete this survey. Your responses will help us understand your experience and set goals for next year. The survey covers topics on school safety, school climate, barriers to family engagement, racial equity and inclusion as well as how well your school fits your student’s needs. Please be honest and thoughtful, and take your time to read and respond to the questions.
