School Parking Lot Safety
Handicapped Parking in Main Parking Lot (outside of front entrance)
These spaces are designated for our parents/visitors requiring handicapped parking, and have a disability license plate or placard. It is very important to keep these spaces open for those requiring them. Please do NOT park in these designated spaces or use these spaces as a drop-off for your child, unless you have a disability plate or placard.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Winter Gear Needed!
Do you know that we have a school closet, stocked with donated clothing for children and adults? Or that we have at last count 45 students who are homeless? Or that many students moved to Portland from much warmer climates, just this school year?
Many of our students will experience our Portland winter without the clothing they need to enjoy winter and stay safe during cold weather. They need mittens, boots, and warm winter jackets.
For many of our families, our school closet provides a chance to “shop” for what they need. They are so grateful for the help. But our closet needs your help! Can you donate clothing your family no longer needs?
Do you want to help? Our closet needs warm winter clothing, in sizes 6 to 14 (give or take a little bit is okay, too). If you have unneeded winter clothes, clean and in good condition, we would love to put them to use again. We especially need:
- mittens and gloves, lots and lot of mittens or gloves
- warm boots
- snow pants
- winter jackets
If you have the time and are able to separate and label the clothing into bags labeled with the gender and clothing size (boys 6, etc), that would really help with putting the clothes away.
Thank you for helping all Ocean Avenue students stay warm this winter!
