Portland Evening Scholars is resuming classes online beginning the week of April 6, 2020.  All of our teachers have been reaching out to their Evening Scholars students to check in, establish a ‘virtual connection’, and to discuss what the new format of teaching will look like for their class.  See below for a list of our staff, their email addresses, and their ‘office hours’. 

If your student has not heard from their teacher, please have them check their PPS email account and please remind them that PPS has migrated all email over to Gmail.  Again, all PPS email accounts need to be accessed via Gmail; students can log in using their PPS userID and password.  Any student registered for a PPS class has been provided their own PPS email account.  If your student does not know their PPS email account, please have them communicate to their teacher (listed below) to establish the connection prior to classes starting up again. 

Every teacher is holding office hours for 1.5 hours on the same night their class was originally offered.  This is a time for students to be online and able to video conference with their teacher, receive direct instruction, and to receive new assignments. 

Important:  If your student has not heard from their teacher yet, the two things they must do are:

1.       Check their PPS email account via Gmail.

2.       Reach out to their teacher to gain insight into how class will be offered.

We all hope you and your families are staying healthy and are as minimally impacted by this current pandemic as possible.  Our staff are looking forward to supporting their students and doing what they can to get our education system back to some form of normal and routine.  This is a time for all of us to extend extra patience and support for each other as we are all learning how to live life a bit differently. 

Take care and thank you for your support,

The Evening Scholars Staff

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.
