Rowe Community Meet & Greet with Julianne Opperman
The PTO invites you to a Meet & Greet with Julianne Opperman, our District 3 Representative on Portland's School Board.
As the Superintendent's office and School Board work through this year's budget process and strategic plan, Julianne is interested in connecting directly with our community in order to hear our thoughts.
This is a great opportunity for our community to ask questions and provide feedback directly with Julianne in a small setting, with the focus mostly on our school. Please join us!
If you are unable to attend, or in addition to attending, Julianne invites you to complete the district's Strategic Plan Feedback Form, found here.
Holiday Pop Up
Rowe PTO’s Holiday Pop Up
Members of the PTO will be on hand Wednesday morning, 12/20, in the Rowe school parking lot for our Holiday Pop-Up.
This is your opportunity to grab some of our in-stock Spirit Wear before the holiday break. You’ll be able to drop off Holiday Shelf Stocking donations, or baked goods and products for the cookie extravaganza.
You can also grab a CLYNK bag, or just stop to chat!
We look forward to seeing you!
Holiday Shelf Stocking!
This Holiday season we are planning a different kind of gift drive! Instead of checking off wish lists, we hope to stock our Student Support Team’s closet with sports equipment, art supplies, and small activity kits to give to new students or students in need throughout the school year. Please take a look at our Amazon Wishlist here OR feel free to donate any items you see fit.
The school is always in need of extra snacks, and we’d like to also fill the closet with much needed energy for growing students. Individual snacks are great, and bulk snacks are welcome too. Thanks for your support this holiday season and throughout the year!
Last Day of School
Students will be released at 12:30pm for the last day of school.

On Monday, staff will be greeted with a Red Carpet Welcome and fresh flowers.
Tuesday, we will host a breakfast and coffee buffet for these “A-listers”
The Disco Jalisco Food Truck will arrive “on set” on Wednesday to feed the staff a taco lunch.
All Hollywood stars need a stocked snack and drink “dressing room” to perform their best so we’ll load up on the “must have” snacks, including a Movie Style Popcorn Bar.
Finally, each Award Winning Staff will collect a swag bag of favorite teacher items. (think: good Expo markers, sharpies, Flair pens, sticky notes, etc.)
The PTO cannot pull off this week without the physical help and donations from the distinguished students and families in the “Academy.”
