Support Our Community

Support Our Teachers

• Write thank you letters

• Bringing teachers snacks and water (the PTA will also be providing porta potties)

• Join the picket lines!

• Our understanding at this time is that our teachers will be on the picket line at Abernethy in the mornings for two hours, followed by a picket line at another school in the afternoon. There will be no picket line in the afternoon at Abernethy, and our teachers are aware of and support the community getting together for Abernethy Afternoons.

The Portland Association of Teacher’s (PAT) website (https://www.pdxteachers.org/resources) is the best place for information about supporting our teachers:

• Show our Solidarity

• Read their report “A Manufactured Crisis”

• Read PAT’s Final Proposal (Sept 22)

• Read the District’s Final Proposal (Sept 22)

PPS has also created a Family Resource page.
