Transportation and Childcare Update to LentK5 Families that are moving to Marysville next school year
January 20, 2023
Dear LentK5 Leopard Families,
This is an update regarding transportation and childcare for LentK5 English Scholar students going to Marysville for the 23-24 school year. District staff wanted to make sure you had updated information and answers to questions that were posed at the October Portland Public Schools Board Meeting.
Transportation:
Transportation will be provided for LentK5 English Scholars students going to Marysville. All students living in 2022/2023 LentK5 boundary will have access to busing to Marysville whether or not the Supplemental Transportation Plan is approved. According to the survey sent out, 48 families from LentK5 are requesting transportation to Marysville.
Extended Learning/After school:
The District is looking to increase and expand childcare and after-school enrichment opportunities for students and schools impacted by the Southeast enrollment and program balancing. We recognize many of you have asked for before and after school care. We sent out a survey on December 5th, 2022 to the Bridger, CSS and LentK5 communities. Based on current survey responses, approximately 162 families have requested childcare.
The numbers break down thus:
67 families are requesting childcare at Bridger
47 families are requesting childcare at LentK5
48 families are requesting childcare at Marysville
Please note that the survey officially closed on Wednesday, December 14, 2022. We plan to make a provision for late entries.
We are currently working with partners to plan for student and family interests and needs. By the 3rd week in January, we will hold open houses where partners can share information about their programs. We fully expect that these opportunities will provide the answers needed for families to make decisions on next steps.
We will continue to send out updates as they arise.
Thank you,
Dr. Jon Franco
Chief of Schools

PK-12 TEAM RESPONSE DRILL
Team Response
Activates School Emergency Team (SET). Team response is typically activated when there is an unsafe situation that requires an internal team response, assistance with privacy, and a need to control movement inside the school. Team Response is designed to clear the hallways and create access for first responders or the SET to more quickly respond to the issue. It is typically used in the event of a medical emergency.
Students: Immediately return to their classrooms.
Teachers: Return to classrooms. Take attendance and account for students. Increase situational awareness. Business as usual inside the classroom.
