Evening scholars registration is now open for first semester!

If your high school student is behind in credits toward graduation, would rather take a particular graduation required class outside of the regular school day, or would like to get ahead on their graduation requirements, this is an excellent opportunity. 

• Classes will be held from October 2 - January 18, 2024 (final Monday night class is Jan 8)

• Classes meet from 5:00 - 8:00pm, once per week, for 13 weeks.  

• All classes are in-person and attendance is required. 

• Our Evening Scholars sites are:  Roosevelt, Grant, McDaniel, and Franklin campuses.  

• To register, students must meet with their counselor to review their transcript, and registration is by the counselor

Please contact your counselor, Benner for class options/availability, if you’d like to register, or if you have any questions.  Some classes fill up fast so please reach out if interested. gbenner@pps.net

Today was disappointing – for us but, most importantly, for our students and families. The Portland Association of Teachers offered no counter proposals – and yet declared impasse.

Today, we offered compromises that would both reward our educators and further our students’ success. We were able to raise our compensation offer substantially. We are not there yet, but we are committed to the hard work of finding common ground.

Today, we started the state-led mediation process with one priority: our children’s success. We offered compromises that would keep that vision at the heart of our work – and maintained our position on proposals that would negatively impact students.

On behalf of the Board of Education and district leaders at PPS, our best wishes for a positive and joyful start to your school year!
