Dear Families,

It is hard to believe that winter break is behind us and March begins tomorrow! In the weeks leading up to break all of our ELL students took the ACCESS test, an English proficiency assessment. Our students approached the test with a positive attitude and tremendous effort. We are proud of their hard work and appreciate the support of their teachers.

At the end of March we will have student-led conferences. Soon, Crew teachers will be reaching out to schedule the conferences. These are important opportunities to see your student's progress. They will be mostly virtual, but there may be some options for in-person conferences.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to kingsecretary@portlandschools.org with any questions.
