Please Label Your Student’s Clothes and Water Bottles!
Fall has just begun and the Lost & Found is already filling up with sweatshirts and sweaters. They all have a nice label inside the collar, but no names written. Thus we cannot connect them back to their owner
Please label any clothes your child wears that might be removed on a warm afternoon at school. And check the Lost & Founds if you are missing a sweatshirt! There is one in Learners’ Hall, Stearns Hall, and the Hilltop Building.
Parent Network Monthly Meeting
The ISP Parent Network’s mission is to strengthen, enhance and encourage the educational and community environment at the International School of Portland.

International Walk and Roll to School Day!
October 9th is International Walk and Roll to School Day! Not to be confused with the National Walk and Roll Day in May.:)
In its honor, the ISP Green Team will be hosting a Bike Bus to school, followed by coffee! What is a bike bus? Basically, it’s a group of people biking together to a destination. Bike buses to school have become a movement! They help reduce our carbon footprint, they ARE SUPER FUN, and they can help us advocate for safer routes to school for all our students, faculty, and staff.
Meeting Location: 45.50725°N, 122.66350°W (this is the plaza between OMSI South parking lot and OMSI/SE Water Street light rail Station)
Meeting Time: Please get there on Wednesday 10/9 by 7:30am
Departure Time: 7:35am (we will be leaving promptly)
Route Distance: ~1 mile
Arrival at ISP: 7:50am (to ensure we arrive on time, we will be traveling at a rate of <15min/mile — kid bikers welcome/encouraged, but for safety and timeliness they need to be able to keep to at least this pace)
For questions, please contact Reid T.
