PPS’s hybrid instruction plan will move forward as scheduled. See below for more details from Lincoln administrators on this plan.

• Grades 6-12 will begin hybrid instruction the week of April 19 
  • All middle and high school cohorts will have in-person instruction in afternoon groups 
  • In-person learning meets the requirements of Gov. Brown’s recent executive order allowing professional development, building preparation and critical planning time

• Schedules
  • In-person learning for grades 6-12 will take place in afternoons
  • In most cases, students will be in-person twice a week for 2.5 hours 
  • Middle and high school schedules allow for continuation of learning and applied learning activities 
  • Students will have opportunities to interact with peers in small, physically distanced groups 
  • Hybrid does not require teacher changes (exception of teachers who are on leave)
• Example schedules can be found here (created for high schools with only four periods per semester)
• Health and Safety
  • HEPA Air Purifiers will be installed in every room or space where students are designated to meet with educators
  • Each building will have a Safety Committee, including Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) members
  • Rapid COVID-19 testing for all symptomatic staff and students
