(📜👇SCROLL DOWN FOR OLIDES, BUT GOODIES!!)

I am responsible for cleaning the first and second floors of RCP (2nd - 5th grades and specials), this includes trash, recycling, floors/carpets, graffiti, bathrooms and other things as necessary as well as light maintenance work.

How long have you worked at RCP and/or Roseway Heights?

I have been at RCP since the beginning of September.

Where did you go to elementary school?

I went to elementary school at Mill Park elementary in the David Douglass school district, and my first year in the PPS school district was 8th grade at Jason Lee K-8

What is your favorite thing to do in Portland or Oregon?

As a Portland Native this is a hard thing to answer. I had lived out of state for several years and missing the rain, the greenery, and family/friends was enough to get me to move back. If I had to pick one thing it would have to be the accessibility of great food and the prevalence of small businesses that make it easy to have a great time no matter where you go in the city.

What is something that we probably don't know about you?

I have created several websites, applications, and small video games.

Dear RCP community,

As the winter holiday season approaches, in collaboration with the PTO, we are collecting donations of gift cards for families in our community. We are seeing an increased need for support for families, and appreciate anything you are able to contribute.

There are two ways you can contribute:

• Purchase a gift card yourself, to a local grocery store, like Fred Meyer, Safeway, Albertsons, Grocery Outlet, Walmart, or Target. Please drop off any gift cards to the office and we will distribute them to families.

• Alternatively, you can view and purchase cards electronically through this Amazon Wish List.

Thank you for all of your support!

The VDLI Capstone Program sends 8th grade VDLI students to Vietnam on a research residency. The funds are managed by VDLI parents of the Research Vietnam organization.

If your student would like Vietnamese language support outside the classroom, HPH can help connect you with a tutor. Tutors are available for paid opportunities, and some are open to volunteering. Contact HPH (president@hphpdx.org) for a list of available tutors.

Note: We ask families to email potential tutors directly to inquire about rates, availability, and to set up sessions, and payments as needed. HPH is not responsible for matching tutors with students, screening tutors, or resolving any issues related to tutoring services. We will continue to update the list of available tutors.

Vaccines play a crucial role in protecting our students from serious illnesses and help keep our community safe. Parents/ Guardians of students who are due to receive vaccines should receive a letter in the mail. Please check if your child’s vaccinations are current, including their recommended flu shot, and contact your medical provider or any of the resources listed below.
