Principal's Message

Hello Families,

Our school values your voice and perspective! Please take a moment to take the Successful School Survey and provide feedback on where we are hitting the mark and where we need to improve our service. See flyer below for the QR Code and link.

In Partnership,

Julie Rierson

Pronouns: she/her

Principal, Ockley Green Middle School

The survey will open on May 6 and close on May 31. You will be able to take the survey online at home, any time you stop in the office during school hours, or at our Nutrition Fair (see below) on May 16.

Thank you in advance for your participation as it will allow us to make thoughtful and well-informed decisions about school climate and culture. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Ms. JJB in the office at jjardeeborquist@pps.net.

Outdoor School Sleeping Bag Donations

From our SUN Coordinator

Hi Ockley Green Families!

In just a few short weeks, our 6th grade class will be heading to Outdoor School! Some of our families have reached out asking for support with a couple of items. SUN School is able to provide hiking/mud boots and warmer layers. There is a need for sleeping bags! If you have some to donate, please bring them by the school!! The kiddos deserve a warm bed while they're away.

Thank you much!

Ms. Elisa

SUN Site Manager

On a tight food budget? We want to let you know about a way our friends at the Oregon State University Extension Service can help. OSU Extension offers free, monthly online classes to teach you healthy (and delicious) recipes using pantry staples you can get through the Oregon Food Bank or with SNAP benefits. Plus, you’ll learn tips from Food Hero to save money, time and energy in the kitchen – something we could all use! Classes are held the last Wednesday of each month from noon to 1 p.m. PT.
