Portland Evening Scholars will continue to be online only for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year
Evening Scholars, Fall 2020
ALL STUDENTS WHO WOULD LIKE TO ENROLL IN SUMMER SCHOLARS MUST MEET WITH THEIR COUNSELOR.
Please note that we follow a Prioritization Process for students to be placed in class. This process is outlined below.
Portland Summer Scholars 2020 is preparing to function like never before. Along with our ever-changing educational environment, our program is also observing, learning, and adapting to how we will best serve students this summer. Please read below for an outline of our 2020 Portland Summer Scholars schedule.
Session 1: June 22 - July 9
Session 2: July 13 - July 30
Students can register for either a morning or an evening course:
AM classes: 9:00 - 12:00pm (teachers available until 12:30pm)
PM classes: 5:00 - 8:00pm (teachers available until 8:30pm)
We will open our registration system to high school counselors by this Thursday, May 21st.
Counselors will use the same familiar registration process for all students* and will find choices between AM or PM classes in the course drop-down menu. (only one class per session)
*Seniors who need more than two classes: counselors do NOT use the registration system. Instead, please email our counselor, Jazmin Otegui, with the courses your senior needs and we will manually enroll them and communicate with their family.
Cost of Summer Scholars 2020: $0. No students will be charged for their courses this summer.
All students will be enrolled as recommend by their counselor unless we hear otherwise from the student’s guardian.
Enrollment Prioritization
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 (grades 9-11) - initial credit (only if there is room in a class)
6. out-of-district students - only if there is room
What this means is that if a class gets too full, we will begin dropping students from the bottom up.
Tutoring
Tutoring occurs before and after class in the library and counseling center, and during class in classrooms where teachers have requested extra help in their classrooms. Tutoring can be requested via our website under the “Program Info” tab.
ESL
Tuesday through Thursday ESL teachers will support ESL students in their classes.
TriMet
During Summer Scholars, bus passes will be provided for students who take public transportation for them to use the following day.
Meal Service
We have meal service at Summer Scholars for our students free of charge. Breakfast and/or lunch are served before or after class. Please note that proof of free/reduced meals eligibility is not required. All meals served to students during Evening and Summer Scholars are free of charge.

We are looking forward to a great year as we continue to prepare to support Portland students in their journey towards graduation.
We will be offering approximately 35 course sections across 4 nights each week for the duration of our two 14 week semesters and we will hire approximately 55 staff to make this happen.
We will provide highly qualified teachers and tutors to assist our students with their academics and we are very excited to be partnering with Portland Public School’s Virtual Scholars program where some courses will be offered online.
Our staff is dedicated in the work they do and they show this every night by unconditionally welcoming their students into the classrooms and providing them a safe place to learn. We are on a compacted calendar with a lot to cover in a shorter amount of time so we do stress the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment.
Our program is an NCAA approved program and our teachers follow Portland Public School’s curriculum calendars for the subjects they teach.
If there is anything we can help you with or answer any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you and welcome back to school, Portland!

Program Administrator
Dear PPS Students, Families and Colleagues,
Today we celebrate and honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a hero of mine. As his influence is seen and felt in the ongoing movement for racial justice, I want to share this video created by the Boise-Eliot/Humboldt Elementary School community. They found a creative way to unify their voices to bring us a unique reading of Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech of 1963, originally delivered to a crowd of almost a quarter million people at the March for Jobs and Freedom in Washington D.C. I think you will enjoy this collaboratively produced presentation of Dr. King’s words brought to life by a new generation of change-makers for justice at PPS.
Dear PPS Families,
We are so grateful to our educators and our community who have continued to support our students through these times of transition this year. The presidential election and its fallout, especially the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, have been disturbing and unsettling for all of us, and the feeling of unease continues as next week’s inauguration of Joe Biden nears. We know it can be an especially difficult time for our students and we remain optimistic about the power of democracy and education as they try to make sense of the events and issues.
The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has issued adapted versions of its annual reports for every school and school district, including Portland Public Schools. The 2019-20 reports do not include data on statewide assessments, class size or attendance. That data is typically included but was not gatherable because classes were conducted online starting in March during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dear PPS Families,
I join all those in public education across the country who denounce the attack on the U.S. Capitol yesterday. The violent and ultimately failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was traumatic to witness for all of us, including our students, but I remain optimistic about their future and our country’s.
