As you may have heard, the district has cut funding for crucial positions at our school. Our second counselor and restorative justice positions have been cut entirely. Our librarian's hours have been reduced even further to just 16 hours/week.
At this time, Foundation funds are the only way to ensure that these positions are maintained. In order to keep our second counselor and have a full time librarian, we need to raise close to $300K this year! One third of this money goes to the general PPS Fund to help schools most in need. The other two thirds will help fund positions at our own school.
After a very successful Trivia Night & Auction, as well as other campaigns we have run this year, we are about half way to our goal. See below how you can still support our school!
KICKER CAMPAIGN
Now’s the time to step up to the plate and support ACCESS Academy and the entire district by donating from your Oregon tax refund (aka the Kicker) back to ACCESS! Make your fully tax-deductible donation here. Double your impact! Check to see if your employer matches donations.
Even better—each donation will be entered in a drawing to win one of two gift baskets. And speaking of kicks...
FAMILY KICKBALL (4/19)
We are holding a family-friendly community event after school on Friday, April 19 at 3:30 PM. Join us to hang out or play some kickball—can you say adults vs kids, staff vs students!!? Light snacks will be provided. Please join your child and bring your generous heart!
PARTIES
We also have some spots still available at parties hosted by ACCESS parents and/or community partners, so view those here.
PRE-ORDER ART PRINTS
You can pre-order prints of this year's class art here. Prints will be ready this Spring and we will be in touch with details as soon as possible. We also have a few copies of last year's prints left and those are ready to go.
