Email Forwarding
As we set up your you@winterhavenschool.org account, one of the most important things you need is EMAIL FORWARDING. Without forwarding, you can't receive email from us to your preferred email account. Therefore, when you receive your new information (first.last@winterhavenschool.org), PLEASE take the time to:

PPS Winterhaven site
The official Portland Public Schools link about Winterhaven. www.pps.k12.or.us/schools/winterhaven/ |
Emailed Communications
Winterhaven Weekly (official school communication)Emailed from the Winterhaven administration (Mark Sandilands, principal, and Nancy Cooper, Principal’s Secretary) to Winterhaven's parent email list (separate from the PTSA email list). Typically this is emailed on Thursday afternoons. Please send Nancy Cooper content by EOD Tuesdays to get it into Thursday's Weekly. See News from the Secretary. PTSA communicationsEmailed by the PTSA to the PTSA_all email list, the PTSA sends out periodic updates from the PTSA president, members of the PTSA Board, or the Winterhaven community. See Communications for more updates. |
Synergy / ParentVue / StudentVue
Called both Synergy and Parentvue somewhat interchangeably (there is also a StudentVue login for students), this site is used by Middle School teachers to track homework, assignments, and student's mid-term and final quarterly grades. There is also an App available for both iPhone and Android devices where parents can view schedules, assignments, and emergency contact information. The school and the district also use Synergy / ParentVue to track all student attendance, including for Elementary students. Please contact Nancy Cooper, Principal's Secretary in the Winterhaven office for any questions after getting set up with your student's login information. |
Classroom.Google.com
Classroom.google.com is used and managed by teachers to track homework (most kids have their own login).This site is completely separate from the PTSA Google Groups / email initiatives. |
PTSA email lists
Parents are added to or removed from these lists by filling out the Parent and Family Contact form on the website, or by using the unsubscribe links at the bottom of any received classroom or all-school email, or by emailing admin@winterhavenschool.org. |
You@Winterhavenschool.org (Google ID)
PTSA email lists are now managed by Google email / Google Groups.At the start of the school year, each parent was given a unique domain ID and a password (firstname.lastname@winterhavenschool.org). This User ID is required in order to make the school and classroom email lists work, but in most cases, we set up these accounts to automatically forward all PTSA email to the email address parents provided on the PTSA Communication Permission form they filled out and submitted at the start of the year. There have been a few exceptions due to technical conditions or admin errors – please email admin@winterhavenschool.org if forwarding doesn’t seem to be working. Additionally, a few parents aren’t in the system. Our plan for this email address is to also use it as a domain login to protect certain personally identifying information on the Winterhaven PTSA website. |
