Spring 2020 Evening Scholars

 February 18 – May 28, 2020

Nightly:  5:00 – 8:15pm

 

Registration process:  Students must be pre-registered for specific courses by their high school counselor.  Pre-registration begins January 28^th.  

Pre-registration and registration are not a guarantee of enrollment into a class due to our prioritization of students we serve.  We will continue to enroll students through February 14^th, which may result in lower prioritized students being bumped from a class.  

Our prioritization process uses the student’s current grade level and is as follows:

1.   PPS Seniors

2.   PPS Juniors - credit recovery

3.   PPS Sophomores - credit recovery

4.   PPS Freshmen - credit recovery

5.   PPS students - initial credit (only if there is room in a class)

6.   out-of-district students - only if there is room

Here are some tips on ways to assist your student during finals week, courtesy of Portland Public Schools’ Student Success and Health Department: 

Students and staff, packed in a high school gym, cheer wildly as Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard enters the building – that is probably the prevailing image of Lillard’s RESPECT program on local news. But if you look closer at the details, you’ll see just how much the program means to the two PPS high schools that are partners in it.
