Dear Ockley Green Community,
After careful consideration and in consultation with your school leadership, we are extending the temporary distance learning return date until January 21. While we recognize and prefer that every student be in an in-person environment, we made this decision to prioritize the health and safety of students and staff, as well as to better ensure consistent staffing available to safely operate the school. We continue to see high numbers of positive cases of COVID-19 in our community which is causing a continued rise in absences of students and staff.
Ockley Green’s temporary distance learning will end on Friday, January 21, 2022. All staff and students should plan to return to in-person learning on Monday, January 24.
During temporary distance learning, a limited number of in-person student support opportunities and extracurricular activities will take place on-campus at Ockley Green. Principal McKey will share more details about these limited on-site activities with your community.
We will continue to provide breakfast and lunch for daily pickup. You can pick up meals every day from 11 am to 1 pm at Ockley Green.
This year, your student was issued a PPS Chromebook. If your student needs a device and/or internet hotspot, please contact your student’s school to be issued one. If you need to contact the tech support desk, you can do so by either sending an email to [email protected] or calling our support line at 503-916-3375.
If you have any questions, please contact Ockley Green’s main phone line at (503) 916-5660.
Thank you so much for your understanding and patience as we navigate the current challenges to students and staff at Portland Public Schools.

Regional Superintendent, Portland Public Schools

Dear Ockley Green Community,
The rapid rise in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant has contributed to a dramatic rise in absences of students and staff at Ockley Green. The ability to fully staff and safely operate our schools is a key factor that has resulted in the difficult decision to temporarily transition Ockley Green to distance learning.
Therefore, we have reached the point where we will need to close the Ockley Green campus for in-person instruction starting Monday, January 10, 2022.
We plan on using Monday as a day to allow our educators to plan to transition to temporary distance learning. Your student will have access to learning material on our learning systems (Canvas) during this transition day. Your school leaders and teachers will share more details about what it will look like in temporary distance learning for students.
We plan to operate temporary distance learning through at least Friday, January 14. Families can expect to receive communication before this date should an extension of this pause to in-person learning and school activities be necessary.
Here is what you need to know about the impact of temporary distance learning at Ockley Green:

During temporary distance learning, all in-person extracurricular activities will be postponed including athletics and performing arts during this time. This includes all in-person practices, competitions, rehearsals and/or performances.

Breakfast and lunch will be offered daily for pickup while you are in temporary distance learning. You can pick up meals every day from 11am to 1 pm at Ockley Green.

This year, your student was issued a PPS Chromebook. If your student needs a device, please contact your student’s school to be issued one. If you need to contact the tech support desk, you can do so by either sending an email to [email protected] or calling our support line at 503-916-3375.

We are mindful of the significant impact that comes from moving a school to temporary distance learning. However, where we cannot offer sufficient staffing to continue on-site instruction in a safe environment, we will have to implement temporary distance learning until we can reopen.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please reach out to us via Let’s Talk. We appreciate your patience as we navigate these difficult times as a community.
