What you need to know
August 2012
On behalf of everyone in Portland Public Schools, welcome to a new school year.
We are excited, and we are ready! We know you are as well — especially students, from brand-new kindergartner to energetic middle-grader to seasoned high school student.
We’ve prepared this publication to get you off to a good start. You’ll find information on a wide array of topics. If something is missing or you need more information, our administrators, teachers and support staff are there to help.
I wish you and your family a very successful school year.
Carole Smith
Portland Public Schools
