Inclement Weather:  In case of inclement weather, here is the general outline èßäapp¹ÙÍø Evening Scholars will follow:

1. if èßäapp¹ÙÍø is closed for the day:  no PESS classes.

2. if èßäapp¹ÙÍø closes early and cancels all evening events (basketball, choir, etc):  no PESS classes. 

3. if èßäapp¹ÙÍø has a full day of classes but inclement weather is a possibility for the evening time:  a decision will be made by 3pm for PESS classes.

4. if èßäapp¹ÙÍø has late opening:  we will have PESS classes.

5. if èßäapp¹ÙÍø moves daytime classes to a virtual platform due to weather, PESS will do the same.  

Here is how our office will communicate these decisions: 

1. We will send out a SchoolMessenger to all students/parents informing them of what our plans are. 

2. Administrator will send an all-staff email informing you what our plan is.  

3. Our website will be updated with a banner along the top indicating our plan is.

èßäapp¹ÙÍø is hosting a series of events that focus on Belonging, Equity & Inclusive Practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries aimed at starting a productive conversation about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities. 

As part of this series, we are excited to welcome you to a live virtual event, , on Monday, October 28 at 5:30 PM at . The event will include a screening of Dan Habib’s film, “Including Samuel,” and a conversation with him and his son, Samuel.

The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to èßäapp¹ÙÍø administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”

The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.

èßäapp¹ÙÍø’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance. 

The renewable, school-based mental health grant will be used to provide comprehensive school psychology services to 18 Title I schools across the district for the 2024-25 school year. This is up from 11 schools served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.

When Beckham Weatherby picks up his tuba, the rest of the world falls away. 

“I don’t get that nervous and I don’t get stage fright at all,” he said. “I guess I got lucky with how my body reacts to performing in front of crowds.”

Which is something the McDaniel High School junior has done quite a bit of lately. Not only is he a member of the prestigious èßäapp¹ÙÍø Youth Philharmonic (PYP) and the PYP conservatory orchestra, but he recently earned first prize in the tuba solo performance category at the Oregon State Solo Music Championships.
