Pathways to Success Information and Sessions
Submitted by martic on Tue, 03/27/2012 - 2:28pm.Parents/Guardians and Students:
The NM Foundation has awarded $5 million dollars to Portland schools and some community organizations that work with Portland schools. One of the most important things we teachers and students have to do at Deering and Portland High before we get the money, is decide what we want our teaching and learning to look like so that as many students as possible are engaged in learning and graduate.
