The student registration form is a required official record and very important — for you and for Portland Public Schools. The information allows PPS to:

• Distribute important information to you, including your student’s academic progress (report cards) and attendance record.
• Respond appropriately in the event of an emergency.
• Provide and evaluate student supports such as language services.
• Honor the racial/ethnic and/or cultural identity of students.
• Pursue and distribute resources to strengthen instruction for all students.
• Ensure compliance with civil rights laws.
