It’s #DownSyndromeAwarenessMonth! Last year we met Jason and his sister Jenni from @PALSprograms Check back in with this awesome sibling duo and learn how even through the pandemic, they are still working towards a world of belonging. @SONorthAmerica
👏 News Flash: PPS will restore all adaptive PE teachers for the 20-21 school year. Great news! Thanks to parents, teachers, staff who lent their voices @Super_GGuerrero & staff for re-examining the budget to pull back cuts. @PPSConnect@OregonSHAPE@adamphowell@SavePortlandPE
We won!!!!! HR is going to send written confirmation shortly that they are totally reversing course on any cuts to Adapted PE. Thanks for all of your amazing work all over the US. I am so proud to be an APE today!!! This is a HUGE WIN FOR EVERYONE!!!
Once again, I have a really hard time reading the @PPSConnect motto of “Equity and Excellence: Every student, every teacher, every school succeeding.” when I hear about this. Which one is it? Is it equity for all? Or priority for the majority? You can’t have it both ways.
Today I was told my profession was “unnecessary” and not apart of my districts values or vision moving forward. Our #AdaptedPE team of 8 was dissolved. Help support our over 550 students w disabilities get the equitable education they deserve! chng.it/XdNwXMgLBq
Received this message from PPS APE. We have never felt more valued and appreciated from all the pouring support from around the COUNTRY! Thank you all for standing with us! #LetsKEEPgoing
In tough times the state is watching @akohnstamm@_RitaMoore@BrimJulia @EilidhPdx @depassforpps @Super_GGuerrero as they make crucial decisions for all students of @PPSConnect. Please make the mental and physical health of your students a priority and keep #physed!
