The 2024-25 forecasting information for current LHS students can be found . Students must complete a forecasting form, have parent's sign the form and complete forecasting on Synergy. Forecasting is due January 12th.

Here are two steps that will be helpful to know. Note: Per district policy it is the parent's responsibility to clear unexcused absences within three school days or 72 hours of the absence or the absence(s) will remain unexcused

Present/Future Full Day

Log in to the ParentVUE website on your computer or download and open the phone application. In either case, look for the "Report Absence" button to the right of your student's photograph. Select start date and the end date (if more than 1 school day) and then a reason from a drop-down list. Add a note if needed. Remember to click SAVE and you should receive a popup confirmation.

Partial/Past Day

Go to Lincoln High School's main webpage (if you are reading this you are already there) and click on the red button with the Cardinal in flight on the right side of the page. It will take you to a Google form that will ask for your email, student ID, name, date of absence, partial (arrive late, leave early, out and back in) and a few other related questions.

If you need to pick your child up early for a doctor’s appointment or other reason, please fill out the Google attendance form using the BIG RED BIRD BUTTON on Lincoln's homepage. For any other questions on attendance, contact lincolnattendance@pps.net.

The district's robo-call goes out to parents twice a day as a reminder when students do not attend class. Please be patient, if you have already submitted a form, as it takes time to process through Synergy. You can always verify that the correction was made by looking in ParentVue the next day.

All students at Portland Public High Schools have PPS student email. Students usernames are first initial, last name, last four digits of their student ID.
 
Use PPS email to contact teachers and classmates, logging in with your username@student.pps.net account at .

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 Portland 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.

The first things you notice when you walk into Ellie Jensen’s classroom at Boise-Eliot/Humboldt Elementary School are peace and warmth. Then you hear the laughter of children. Then you just might see two posters hanging on the walls that tell you a great deal about the kind of teacher she has been for the past 50 years. The posters simply say, “Leave a little sparkle wherever you go” and “Be a friend.”

Jensen, known as “Miss Ellie” to the hundreds of students she has taught in her half a century as a Portland Public Schools educator, can’t help but light up a room. And she is a friend to all children. 

We dare you to drive by the Mainspring Food Pantry on the corner of 82nd Avenue and Fremont and not do a double take. Or a triple take. 

Students from McDaniel High School’s art-focused Career Technical Education (CTE) class have spent the last four weeks turning the exterior walls of the pantry into one, huge, joyful mural as part of the course’s exploration of climate justice and community engagement.

A little over 30 years ago, a Madison High School student named Joseph Janson had a simple wish. He wanted to go to a dance. But nothing was simple for Joseph, who was born with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and was confined to a wheelchair. 

He confided his wish to Tony Nitz, who at that time was an educational assistant at Madison (now Leodis V. McDaniel High School). Tony had been working one-on-one with Joseph for months and he immediately went about making the young man’s dream come true.

“The truth is, I would have done anything for Joseph,” Nitz said. “He was a unique person, and we had a very special bond.”
