Scott School

Did you know? Have you heard? Scott is opening an immersion program in September 2012! Slots are limited so if you wish to place your incoming Kindergartner in the program you need to do the following three things:

1. Live in the Scott catchment area. Sorry but we are not accepting non-neighborhood kiddoes at this time.
2. Attend either the March (Thursday, March 22nd @ 5:30 in the library) or the April (Thursday, April 26th @ 5:30 in the library) immersion information nights. You will fill out an enrollment package which will be flagged as interested in immersion.
3. You will need to sign a memorandum of understanding indicating your committment to the program from K through 5th grades, at a minimum.

Spread the word! Tell your Scott School neighbors who have 4, soon to be 5, or already 5 year olds.

Scott School Vision

Scott will become an academic beacon for NE Portland where students achieve at high academic levels in two languages.

Scott's Big Hairy Audacious Goal

Each student at Scott, regardless of race, socio-economic status or linguistic abillity, will make two years' growth in one year's time in reading, writing and math.

Important Upcoming Events

• Kindergarten Round Ups will begin soon.  Please see upcoming dates and times on the School Choice website
• Spring Break is March 25-31st

Scott School is engaging in a culture shift!  We would like to create a culture of universal achievement for all of our students.  Our goal is to educate students at high levels so that, if they so chose, they would be able to attend an institution of higher learning.  Students will leave Scott with the college readiness skills they will need should they make that choice.  Please contact Scott's principal, Dr. Gutierrez (vgutierr@pps.net), to obtain information about how you can help us create this culture through powerful symbolism.
