We would like to wish families who celebrate a “Ramadan Mubarak." This year, Ramadan is expected to begin in the evening of Friday, February 28, 2025 and end on Saturday, March 29, 2025. The Islamic Calendar follows a lunar cycle, and while these are the calculated expected dates of Ramadan, they can differ from place to place based on moon-sightings or lack thereof.
Kindergarten Registration opened, Monday, February 24th and closes on March, 24th. Visit our Kindergarten Registration page for more information.

3rd Annual EAST END COMMUNITY SCHOOL ART SHOW
PTO co-hosting a screening of Join or Die
We are co-hosting a screening of Join or Die - a documentary about community engagement - with the Munjoy Hill Neighborhood Association on March 6th at 6pm and March 9th at 9 pm. See the trailer HERE. From their website: This feature documentary follows the the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam, whose groundbreaking "Bowling Alone" research into America's decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis.
Kindergarten Registration Opens Soon
If your child is currently enrolled in the Portland Public Schools in one of our pre-kindergarten (4-year-old) classrooms, it is not necessary for you to re-enroll your child in kindergarten. Your child's enrollment will automatically "roll up" to your neighborhood kindergarten elementary school, according to your primary home address.
Visit our Kindergarten Registration page for more information.
