We have an important announcement regarding a change in how we distribute report cards. Due to significant budget cuts, the print shop at the district is closing its doors. As a result, our school will need to print and mail report cards, incurring substantial costs.
To help mitigate these expenses and streamline our processes, we're offering the option to receive report cards electronically through ParentVue. By opting in to paperless report cards, you not only help reduce our environmental footprint but also assist in preserving vital school funds for other educational needs.
Please note that for paperless report cards to be effective, both parents must opt in. If only one parent opts in, a paper copy will still be mailed to your home.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition. Together, we can make a positive impact on both our school's finances and the environment.
To learn how to opt in please click this link.
Ida B. Wells families - we'd love your feedback. Please take a few minutes and fill out this survey.
Families will select your site from the drop-down list at the following URL. Families with more than one student can respond for their eldest student or take the survey more than once. https://surveys.panoramaed.com/portlandor/familyspring24/surveys
The Grauer Project is a back-to-school event giving out backpacks, school supplies, coats, shoes, socks, and shirts to roughly 300 Southwest Portland students each year. These items are provided to students Kindergarten to 12th grade in the Ida B. Wells cluster school district that are eligible for free and reduced lunch.
Over the last 22 years, we have provided these items on the second Saturday of August. This year’s back-to-school event will be Saturday, August 10, at St. Luke Lutheran Church. New this year, the event registration will open online on Tuesday, May 14, at 8:00 a.m. Families and students can schedule their back-to-school shopping appointments in advance by using this pre-registration link and selecting a time slot that works for them. Availability is limited per time slot. Pre-registration is not required but encouraged.
Sincerely,
Grauer Project Committee
