"This week, the Oregon Health Authority announced the approval of Pfizer’s two-dose COVID-19 vaccination for individuals age 12 and older. The Oregon Convention Center is now open for FREE vaccinations: you can walk in without an appointment or you can schedule an appointment on the PPS Student & Family Vaccination website. Our next PPS day at the Convention Center will be Wednesday, May 19.

Students ages 12-14 must be accompanied by either a parent, a guardian, or someone designated by the parent. If accompanied by an adult other than a parent, a student must have a parent-signed consent form; we will share the form in all PPS-supported languages with families on Monday.

Transportation and translation support is available for Wednesday. A shuttle (available for students and family members) will leave Alliance @ Meek, Franklin, Ida B. Wells, McDaniel @ Marshall, and Roosevelt, take families to the Convention Center, and return them back to the school site. Shuttle times will be posted on our website. A PPS tent will be at the front of the Convention Center to assist students and get them oriented."

Students & Families!

As we near the end of the school year, we are reminding families to return library and textbook materials they have at home before they leave for the summer.

Please check your shelves, under the bed, behind the couch, everywhere! for books to return to the library. Bring them to the book drop box in front of the main doors at Lent School, Monday-Friday. Contact me, Ms. Hanson, at ahanson1@pps.net, if you have any questions. Help us keep our library and textbook materials available for all to use and enjoy. -- Thank you!

Students can still access reading resources online through a variety of platforms available through this link: https://bit.ly/39fnQDp

• Quédate en casa si estás enfermo
  
• Use una máscara cuando esté adentro con otras personas con las que no vive: en la escuela, en una tienda, en un autobús / MAX, en un restaurante, etc.
  
• Mantenga una distancia social de 6 pies cuando esté fuera de casa
  
• LLávese las manos con frecuencia e inmediatamente después de regresar a casa
• Si es posible, use una máscara limpia / nueva todos los días y considere lavar la ropa de la escuela con más frecuencia
  

La mejor manera de proteger a los seres queridos es mediante la práctica de medidas de seguridad fuera del hogar: mantener a Covid fuera del hogar usando una máscara, manteniéndose a una distancia de 6 pies y practicando la higiene de las manos ralentiza la propagación dentro de nuestra comunidad y en nuestro hogar.

Como una forma de traer recursos y proporcionar información sobre COVID, algunos de nuestros socios comunitarios se reunieron y crearon una página web de recursos comunitarios COVID-19. Alentamos a todos a que se tomen un momento para revisar la página web. Hay diferentes elementos para descargar, videos cortos sobre la educación y los seminarios web de COVID.

The effort that everyone is making to combat COVID is making a difference - the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths has dropped dramatically since this winter - but the pandemic is not over. We are so excited to be getting back into the school, and Spring has arrived, calling us outside for beautiful days...but we need to keep up the health practices that will keep everyone safe:

• Stay home if sick
• Wear a mask when inside with other people you don't live with - at school, in a store, on a bus/MAX, in a restaurant, etc...
• Maintain 6ft social distance when outside the home
• Wash your hands frequently, and immediately upon returning home
• If possible, use a clean/new mask everyday and consider laundering school clothing more frequently

The best way to protect loved ones is by practicing safety measures while outside the home - keeping Covid outside the home by wearing a mask, staying 6ft distance, and practicing hand hygiene slows the spread within our community as well as our household.

As a way to bring resources and provide information about COVID, some of our community partners got together and created a COVID-19 Community Resource webpage. We encourage everyone to take a moment to look over the webpage. There are different items to download, short videos surrounding COVID education and webinars.

Cuando se encuentre en una ubicación de PPS, pedimos que todos usen una mascarilla y se la proporcionaremos si es necesario. Si ha tenido tos o fiebre en las últimas 72 horas o ha interactuado con alguien con síntomas de COVID19, háganoslo saber y organizaremos una recogida / cambio sin contacto.

When at a PPS location, we ask that everyone wear a face mask, and we will provide one if needed. If you have experienced cough or fever in the past 72 hours or interacted with someone with COVID19 symptoms, please let us know and we will arrange for a contactless pickup/ exchange.

If you need a new device or hotspot, please contact Cathy Wolfe at cwolfe1@pps.net. She is our Lent specific technology coordinator.
