The first day of school for the 2018/19 School Year is Monday, August 27th for 1st - 5th Grade students. Kindergartners will start on Thursday, August 30th.

Notice of School Hours Change for Next Year 2018-19

PPS will be changing school start and end times at a number of schools, including Woodstock. As of the start of school in fall 2018, we will start at 8:15 and release at 2:30 p.m. This minor adjustment is part of a district-wide alignment of schedules. Please take note of this change. The schedule alignment allows for more efficient bus transportation, makes it easier to schedule substitute and itinerant teachers, provides more consistency in instructional time and allows for better use of teachers’ professional development time.

Calling all neighbors!

Join Portland Public Schools staff and community volunteers in enhancing and beautifying our buildings and grounds.

Project Community Care will be 9 a.m. to noon (Date for 2018 - To Be Determined).

Event details

Most Project Community Care activities involve landscaping, such as pulling weeds, painting and spreading bark dust.

Portland Public Schools has adopted a detailed policy for making records available to the public.

At its July 18 meeting, the PPS Board of Education unanimously passed Resolution 5682, which approved a significant expansion of district policy for handling public records requests.

Portland Public Schools Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero has been chosen as a member of the executive committee for the Council of the Great City Schools, a nationwide organization dedicated to improvement of urban public school systems.

The school year has been over for nearly three weeks, and your student is settling into a summer routine. But the time off can harm academic gains made during the school year. A number of studies point to weeks or months of learning loss, particularly for students who were already struggling. For some the “summer slide” can snowball over time, leaving them chronically below grade level.

Portland Public Schools Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero has hired two educational leaders to play major roles in the district’s senior leadership team. Claire Hertz will serve as Deputy Superintendent for Business and Operations, and Dr. Kregg Cuellar will join the district as Chief of Schools, the district announced.
