I'd be interested in what people think of Fernwood school--and any thoughts on how it might be to have Hollyrood integrated into Fernwood. Is there any reason to be concerned about the littlest kids heading over to the middle school with the older kids?

As she is contemplating her neighborhood school, a mama emails:

My family just moved to Portland about five months ago.  I would love to see some info posted on your school connections section about Alameda Elementary.  It is our neighborhood school, but it seems rather large for a K-5, so I'd love to hear what others have to say about it.

Kindergarten Round Up & Tour Dates: Buckman Elementary 2008

Thanks to Sarah for sending us this info.  Mark your calendar!

Buckman is an Arts Focus Elementary school open to students from across the PPS school district , as well as an inner SE neighborhood school. Buckman offers arts-integrated education. This means that while providing students with a strong academic base, the teachers work to nurture the whole child—intellectual, emotional, social, and physical. Staff use a multiple intelligence approach, working with and inspiring students' linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, body-kinetic, spatial, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences. This allows students to make real, immediate and personal connections to academic subject matter.

Buckman Tour Dates:
Tuesdays, February 5, 12, 19, and 26 and March 4
9:00 am and 1:15 pm
Call 503-916-6230 to reserve a spot.

Kindergarten Roundup (for neighborhood families):
Thursday, February 21
6:00 to 7:00 pm

For more information about Buckman send email to: info@buckmanelementary.org. Also, please visit www.buckmanelementary.org.
